Icon13 Mixing Angelfish..

I have a Flame angel along with many other fish such as clowns, wrasse, chromis, etc. Now I heard that you cant mix together angels in the same tank because they will compete for territories and kill or injure eachother. However I also heard that it is perfectly fine to mix them as long as you vary the size and colors of each. So my question is, if I have a Flame Angel (orange, purple, yellow) is it safe to mix it with a Emporer Angel (blue, white, black) or Henocious Angel..? All answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for checking out this thread!
Tony

I had a coral beauty and a pygme angle in a 55 for a few months with no problems then one day the pygme was nowhere to be found IMO mixing any to angels is a risk sometimes it will be ok but not all the time

Okay, yea that makes sense to me. There is a Flame angel and a Banana Wrasse in there right now who are the two top dominators of the tank. I often see the Banana going into the flames caves and rock tunnels. However, this doesnt anger the angel too much, he just slowly speeds up alittle in the direction of the wrasse and the wrasse knows to move out of the way, but its not like the angel goes chasing after and trying to attack the wrasse. So from my observations, this angel is somewhat of a mild tempered one. But then again there isnt another angel in the tank yet.. I guess I'll have to find out the hard way and let my fish eat a 100 dollar bill and 2 20's.. hahaha thanks for your input!
