Adding Another Chaetodontoplus Angelfish?

mjreefs · Oct 10, 2020

Hi everyone,

I have an established pair of Scribbled Angelfish, although the larger one hasn't turned male yet, I plan on adding a small blueline angelfish to my 8x2x2 240-gal tank. Currently my tank has an Annularis angelfish and a pair of scribbled angelfish. The scribbled pair is at 5" and 4" while the planned addition of a blueline is around 2-2.5". Would this work? Thank you!

240 is pretty big and since the new guy is pretty small it should work out!

I'm just worried that in the long term the larger scribbled will turn male and the blueline, since it does not have a pair of its own, will also turn into a male and would fight. Hopefully, that wouldn't happen and the blueline would stay female, since there is a larger male Chaetodontoplus in the tank.
