angel fish and FW dip

I've had like four dwarf angels in a 72 for a LOOOOONG time without problems.

Additionally, I have a lot of customers who have two or more dwarfs in tanks smaller than 72's with little or no aggression issues after the initial introduction.

Not that I'm condoning the practice of mixing these fish at unreasonable numbers, but once in a while, one of us strikes gold and gets away with it.

"but once in a while, one of us strikes gold and gets away with it."

Albert, I hope the above advice is not what you are giving your customers. These are living creatures in our care. You simply don't take risks.

Other posters are correct. One is sufficient for a small tank.

Please, anyone who has met me knows that I'm the King of Policing poor buys. I'm just saying that I don't police my own habits nor those of stubborn Chinese people, and yes, this is a racial remark.

You are taking an unnecessary risk by doing this. Why? You may get away with it, but the odds are against this having a happy ending & it won't be you who pays the price but the less aggressive of the angels. A 55g corner tank doesn't have enough "territory" for the two angels to "share".
