adult emporer angel?

[ithorian_r]

i know most websites say adult emporer angels require a minimum 125g tank. is this too small? in reality, do they need more space? any opinions welcome. and pics too!

it would be fine i have gotten nothing but positive feed back for getting one in my future 125.. they are not always reef safe though

They're normally fine with anemones (not a coral) SPS, and softies but will often devour any LPS's.

yeah im not looking to put it in a reef tank. just thinking ahead of my next tank!

125 s/b fine but you should also not overcrowed emperor sincw it does get to 16 inches....s/b stocked sparringly and be only large angel in the tank. Good luck.

my father kept an emperor in a 55 fish only tank for many years, so i would say that a 125 is plenty large enough.
