Apologies in advance if this is a naive question. Can a dwarf angler and a scorpion fish be kept in same tank (large tank > 90 gallons)? From what I have researched it seems both stay about 4-5 inches.

Anglers are one of those species only tanks. My future purchase and new tank will be a Rhinopias scorp tank. look those guys up
Anglers are always species tanks. They have huge mouths!
Multiple species of bottom dweller can be done! I have had a pair of Inimicus (goblins) with a brasiliensis and a plumieri for years now. The brasiliensis just passed though, assuming from old age. Keep in mind your species and their end total growth and how they will fit in your tank. Some preds stay small and some get huge. I personally lost a Mozambique to my plumieri, and never thought that would happen. I would guess his mouth to be able to get around 2" in diameter when he wants.
Also make sure you are good on filteration with these guys. Feed them silversides or some other meaty food and you can watch them breath and have particles escape their gills. The Inimicus will like a minimum sand bed of 3" as well.

I will have to provide new pics in a while. Currently they are in process of a upgrade, 125 to a 180. I will see if I can dig any up though.
Careful with scorps, they are a slippery path to multiple tanks. Some are small, some are large, but they are all cool. They just don't always mix well
Well i work at a Fish store so its a tad easier...(and cheaper) to get fish in i want. Im just Waiting to start it up though. Gotta get a tank ready for it. And find out where i can put it...hahaWould love one of these! I have a bunch of LFS ranging from a 2 minute walk to a 5 hour drive away with me on a call list so I can get a phone call as soon as one comes up on the wholesalers lists. Unfortunately in 3 years I'm yet to receive a call from any of them. They're definitely a rare fish!
