I have 2 large male angels in my 75 gallon community tank. They are silver striped and I've had them since they were very small... they are now about 7'' from top to bottom. My local fish store just got some beautiful black angels, and I was considering adding one to the group. Despite their size my angels have always been very submissive with new fish.

What are your thoughts? There is a clear dominant angel between the two, but again neither of them have ever been aggressive. If you think it will be fine... male or female?

It will probably be tricky, introducing a new cichlid after a hierachy has already been established by the sounds of it. It depends on how much you want another angel, I have to admit the black ones are my favourites too. It may be worth giving it ago, but only if you have a back up plan if it doesn't work out, such as returning it to the LFS or have another tank ready.
