Two flame angels in QT?

[Dvir]

Hi,
I'd like to keep 2 flame angels, did some research and it looks feasible in my 300g DT.

QT however is a separate story. My QT is about ~24g (19.5" cube with back filter), and they will spend roughly 3.5 weeks in it,
Any chance it can work? I'd like to introduce them to DT together, so it's either that or having to setup another QT which would be quite difficult.

Thanks

If you’re worried about it, you can start them out separated by a piece of egg-crate/light diffuser… They can see each other, but not have contact.

Can you find small specimens?

Can you find small specimens?

yes, I can get them at around 2"

Get a male and female. Somewhere on here Orion shows pictures of both. Female fins are rounded, males are pointed

The following is an older picture of my three. I had a pair and Orion was able to find me a female, so then there was three. Still doing great

Feeding Flame Angel

I have had a 3.25" Flame Angel for about 6 weeks now. He eats mysis and nls marine pellets. I can see him grazing amongst the live rock during the day. My only issue is that I am having a hard time getting hit to recognize / eat consistently Ocean Nutrition Angel Formula. I would love to add...

I have three dwarfs together and I tried two flames and had to separate them but I believe if you went in odd number as with tangs and other fish, you would have a good chance

As long as you don’t put two males together you will be fine. Get either two females or a male and a female.

That should be fine, right everyone? Should be juvenile/female at that point.

I would keep a divider for 'just in case'.

One can easily tell sex of Flame Angels. They are dimorphic
