Okay fair enough on the bioload, but I was talking about the flameback angel which is a different fish. This is the flameback angel

LA, Bluezoo, and others list them between 50 and 55 gallons minimum. Just giving you an option if you really want an angel of some form in your tank.
Right on... I def confused it with the flame angel. Thanks again for the info! I appreciate all the ideas!

Yup, it's actually a Pygmy Angel, although they list it under the Dwarf Angels and it is probably the only one I would attempt in less than a 70 gallon tank. Most sites actually have the Orangeback (although they list it as an African Flameback). The regular Flameback is from Brazil. Personally I like the coloration on the African better anyways. Either way, probably a moot point for you given your stock, but it gives you an option in the future if you want to try a small angelfish in your tank.
