two of the same fish together

[marinelife]

I recently lost my Emperor Angel. I have always wanted 2 in my tank. My thought is to add 2 Juveniles to the tank and let them grow up together. Would this work?

Its a 375 Gallon SPS Tank with the following fish:

1 Yellow Belly Hippo Tang (added March 2008)
3 Orange Clown Gobies (11-16-2012)
1 Regal Angel (added March/2008)
1 Hoeven’s Wrasse (9/21/2011)
1 Yellow Tailed Angel (April/19/2008)
1 Flame Fin Tomini Tang (May/2007)
1 Coral Beauty (May/2007)
1 Male Orange Anthias (Lyretail) (added Feb/2008)
1 female Mandarin (Jan 7 2010)
1 Yellow Pyramid Butterfly (Dec 20 2010)
1 Female Square Spot Anthia (June 2010)
1 White-faced Tang (8-26-2012)
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse Butterfly (12-13-2013)
1 Yellow Pyramid Butterfly (2-21-2012)
1 Black Pyramid Butterfly (May 14 2010)
1 Maculiceps Tang (2-11-2014)
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse (12-13-2013)
3 Yellow Pyramid Butterfly (8-21-2014)
1 Cleaner Wrasse

You just never know if they will be compatible or not. My thinking is to only keep one.

I agree. The only way that I could think of it working is if you do a male/female pair. I have no clue on how to sex these guys.

Juvs. should all be female and the dominate one should change to a male as they grow from what I can tell.

you can, but they have to be difference in sizes, i would go with one about 5" or bigger and the other one should be about 3" or smaller. i was able to have 4 regals angel in my 144 gallons reef tank. just in my opinion.

Thanks for the responses, I had heard about getting different sizes. Not sure I want to start that big, I was thinking 1-2" range Juveniles.
