I have a cherub angelfish and I’m going to add a biota captive bred regal angelfish to the tank (125 gallon) and I’m worried one will kill the other I have a Acclamation box and I will keep it the regal in there for a week or two is there anything else to help I know a mirror might help.

Mirrors don't seem to work for angelfish (YMMV though). Right now I have 5 angels (including 3 dwarfs) in a 160-gallon tank. The last one was added only a week or so ago but got along with the other angels straight away (YMMV).

Just make sure you have lots of hiding/sleeping spots and keep them well fed with seaweed if you're going to attempt it.

6' long tank? If so plenty of spread out room. I had lemonpeel and rusty in my 150 and they basically split the tank and hung out on their half

In theory you'd think that would always be the case. The midnight and coral beauty often hang out together and are guilty of sleeping together in the same cave. And to think they chased each other around for a few days the first time they were introduced to each other... :grinning-squinting-face:
