i have an 80 gallon with 2 juvenile clowns, 2 juvenile pj cardinals and a yellow tang.
I’ve just added a red stripe dwarf angel and tried to add a flame angel at the same time but complications came up at the shop with the flame so only the red stripe was added.
How can i get the best chances of peace adding a flame too?
I plan on increasing my light cycle so more algae grows for them to pick on.
I have plenty of rock work for them to be kept away from eachother.
Going to up feeding to 3 times a day.
Maybe should i add a small fish at the same time to divert focus from the flame?
e.g. royal gramma

If you want to keep two dwarf angelfish, I would try a different species or getting a bonded pair. Red Stripe Angelfish are among the more aggressive dwarf species, and they also grow larger than most other dwarf angels. Because of this, they are likely to bully any smaller angelfish in the tank.

Doubt that red stripe will allow any additional dwarfs in ‘his’ tank.
How new is that tank? What happened to yellow tang?
the tank was started in april and the red stripe has only been in 2 days. The tang was rescue i think it had hlle.

I've got a few dwarf angels in a 150 gallon. I don't do anything super special. I just have lots of rock work for hiding places and I use an acclimation box for a few days when adding a new fish.

Currently I have:
Coral Beauty
Flame
Multicolour
Lemonpeel
Venustus
Multibar

They bicker a little bit but nothing that worries me.
