Angel Question

[kevin34]

Whats generaly the most reef safe dwarf angel between a flame, bicolor, and coral beauty or any other dwarf angel that looks just as good as these 3.

i have a golden angel that is very reef safe. but kinda expensive.

Of the ones you listed, I'd say the coral beauty. Of course it's a gamble with any of them. Have you looked into any of the Genicanthus?

I would also say a coral beauty but its a risk with any of them.

Q: do you have any zoo's, brains or clams? if not, who cares? I dont miss my xenia much anyway...

Any angel is iffy, but cherub angels are less of a risk than a bicolor. Flames and coral beauties are just as much of a risk. Some may say that they are fine, but don't take any experience under a year for granted. No offence to others that may reply.

every single one of those has an equal chance of being reef safe and not being reef safe. some will pick at corals and polyps where others won't. the lamarks angel is the least likely of all angels to pick on corals and polyps.

Ouch!

Must be talking about me. I am the only one who responded who qualifies for his quote.
I am just trying to offer my 2 cents.

Ok I still cant really decide between the 3 but is there a way to have 2 angels? I have a 125g tank and have seen it done before without any problems. Would I have to add them at the same time?

 

[rad]

wouldnt we all like to know. there is no certainty. simultaneously would be the best chance of success IMO. also you can try acclimation containers, but those can be costly. or eggcrate and adding them simultaneously. but who knows until you try, its all a matter of if you want to. but usually it is not recomended.

id say the coral beauty i have had more luck with the in the past the with the flame and the bicolor.

I have heard that potters angels are impossible to keep alive.

They say they are not as hardy, but mine is doing just fine.

I know the Genichanthus aren't as pretty, but have you given them a look?
