I think you can put a coral beauty angel. I don't know though .. :thinking:

for a 30 gallon you can put a flame angelfish, coral beauty angelfish, bicolor angelfish and a lemonpeel angelfish. i got this info from the doctor foster and smith magazine. and yea they say all those can live in a 30 gallon but not all at the same time.

Ok here's another related question...
I have a 37 gal. The only fish I have right now are 2 false percs and 1 coral beauty...GREAT fish!! What are the odds of putting in a flame angel? I'm not sure if 2 angels can be in the same tank or not, as I've heard they can be very territorial, and besides the coral beauty, I really love the flames...they're so colorful and bright.
Thank you!!

I really would not try adding another angel to that tank. It often does not work...only in very large systems does it stand a chance. But that, IMO, is a very small tank to try it in. They are very territorial. I just had to remove a coral beauty I added to my 45 because it was a monster.

IMO, a 30 is small for one of these fish. Do-able, but not optimal. Another choice would be the C. argi or cherub angel. Stays under three inches and is very colorful. Stay away from bicolors and some of the other larger centropyges.

Thanks Ophiura,
That's pretty much what I thought and what I've read. I still love my CB angel...she and my female fp clown are actually bonding..really cool.
