Well, I am happy to answer your question. You see, Emperor Angels are what you would call an advanced species of fish for an aggressive fish tank. I highly recommend them if you have a 120 gallon tank and are basically going to go with moderately aggressive species but I do not recpommend them in anything below a 120 gallon tank. Also, when you have any aggressive fish such as a lionfish, trigger, puffer, eel, or grouper you will be dealing with major feeding and major messes. These fish are messy eaters and therefore you need strong filters. Now you see, when you look at any normal aggressive tank you see a bunch of rather mean fish with a major apppetite. Now when you look at a tank an Emperor angel is in, it is perfect. These angels are rather difficult to keep , and they are notriously apt to get diseases. Not good. They need perfect wtare qulaity and more docile tankmates than in an aggressive tank. They are not good choices for aggressive tanks I'm sorry to say because I want one in my 120 but I know it would be doomed. I have a Black Volitans Lionfish, a Piccasso Trigger, and a Snowflake eel in there. It would not fit with these fish. Anymore questions?

I was a little skeptical about getting an eel until a little while ago. Number one reason was because they are smart litttle fellas and they are awesome escape artists. Make sure you have a completely covered tank with no way for them to escape or they will find it and perish on your floor. Other than that, they are great fish to have in any aggressive tank. Mine eats very well, is very good with the other fish and has a great personality. What more could you ask for? Just make sure you have at least a 55 gallon tank with plenty of caves for it to hide in. Thats about the only thing you really need to know about them. They are a must have fish.
