Love 'em. Call mine "The Don" 'cos he's the boss. Beautiful deep blue color. I waited to check out a few fish before I found one that had the right attitude, color (for me), condition etc. Would also suggest that if you commit to an angel now, think about whether you're going to try keeping it...

I'd bought one for my community tank but it faded real fast. When I asked about it, I was told that they prefer to be with bigger fish to give it plenty to do - in my setup it was with a few small angels but that was not enough it seems. My impression is that they are a little tricky to get the...

I think a better way to approach this question would be to know what kind of tank is it that you are planning it to be once you've stocked it? My goal was to have some background activity in my tank with a few clowns, four spot wrasse and a couple of yellow-tails darting about the rocks, to show...

You didn't say what damsels or what size they are but I would definitely break-up the layout pattern in the tank. You want lots of rocks with plenty of space in and between them to let the fish keep moving and not see each other as well as have plenty of places to run to when they get chased...

'recommend you boys visit http://www.seahorse.org/ and get some first-hand advice. Cheers Aston

I go for the natural remedy every time in dealing with algae - plants. Have some natural looking plants like Caulpera (forgot how to spell it) that look great, eat all the nutrients that would otherwise be eaten by algae (and encourage them to grow) and in turn provide much more attractive tank...

What's your tank setup? They are much shier than most other dwarf angels and they need plenty of shelter to hide away in. Once they have that and they've spent some time in the rocks peeking out for a week or so making sure the coast is clear, they'll venture out and start eating a lot more...

I'm also up there on the stocking levels in a 40 gallon tank with no problems with water quality and I've got two cleaner shrimps doing very nicely - they're even breeding pretty regularly keeping everyone else well fed. While water quality is of course important, I think you're barking up the...

Long shot but when I started my current tank I had issues with cloudy water and after a while I realized it was an algae cloud. As algae developed in my aquarium it was breeding very fast and even turned the water cloudy. The fish were fine and water quality was constant but it took me adding...

I think the Flame is by far and away the easiest to keep. They are not shy, happy to be all around the tank and will eat almost anything. With the Coral Beauty, they need good water conditions, plenty of shelter to hide in for the first week or two before emerging with confidence to parade up...

Unfortunately, I think you'll see a lot of this cycle for the first few months but the root cause is the nitrates being generated. To minimize those I'd suggest holding off on adding any more fish, keep the food limited to what the fish will eat and finish off in 2-3 minutes, and think about...

Absolutely agreed. Made the one mistake long ago that we're all allowed to have so long as we learn from it, thus I wanted to collect opinions before even thinking any further this time round. Cheers for the advice! Aston

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate the advice. As the saying goes, 'leave good things well enough alone' and that should be the aquarist's acumen. I am sure you are right. Here in Japan, though, we're all condemned to smaller tanks but a lot of the locals seem to be getting...

I have three dwarf angels that are doing very well together in my 45-gal tank: a 4-in coral beauty, 3-in flame and 3-in lemonpeel. I've been thinking for a while about one big prize fish to rule the roost as my final addition to the collection, and I think I found him - a Flagfin angel...

Only thing I've heard is that it is very close to the Eibli Angel, which I have. Beautiful little fish, very shy at first and it took a week before he'd even show his face out of the rock formation in my tank but would sneak bits of food that drifted his way. Now, a month or so later, he's much...

Have you tried a)keeping as much light out of the room as possible with dark curtains; b)keep as many fans as possible blowing across the front and sides of the tank; c) raising the lights a little higher from the top of the water to let air circulate; and d) even consider turning the lights on...
