Hi. I have a 46 gal tank w/ 45 lbs LR.
I currently have:
2 clowns
purle firefish
6line
royal gramma.
My last 2 fish will be a midas blenny and flame angel.
I have to get both fish from one specific LFS because i have credit, but they don't get midas blennies too often. I wanted to know if i would be alright adding the flame angel BEFORE the midas blenny.
thanks

my experience has been dwarf angels are pretty much beligerent to new comers. my preference would be to add them at the same time. flame angels are virtually ALWAYS available so I'd wait til I found a midas blenny. If anything I'd add the blenny first. Dwarf angels can and will stand up to almost anything within reason almost immediately. midas blennies are much more sketchy upon introduction before getting comfortable.

Well, I never intended on getting them at the same time. I've always planned on putting the blenny, THEN the Angel.
It's just the FLame is my favorite fish and I'm pretty anxious. I know i have to be patient.
I just don't know how long it's gonna be till they get a bright midas that's the size I'm looking for. I will likely have to wait months before getting the Flame if i wait for teh midas 1st.
I asked the LFS what they thought, and he said he thought I'd be alright getting the flame now. I've read a lot saying the Flame should be last, but i thought i might be alright with a midas after.

flame angels in general r not as aggressive as other dwarf. mine is very shy and pearceful. i hv added a few smaller fish after him, and they r all doing fine.
