Flame Angel

[bigred2085]

I have a 145gal. reef tank i wanted to add a flame angel. I have a rusty angel just wanted to know what you thought. I also have a blue hippo tang, yellow tang, cleaner wrasse, maroon clown, 2 blue reef chromis, purple pseudochromis, engineer goby, and lots of live rock and corals.

The rusty may not appreciate the addition. Most dwarf angels have a tendacy to spat with other dwarfs. I've seen them get along in larger tanks but there is a risk involved. It may be worth a shot...I do think its possible...and it would be a nice compliment to your current fish.
If you try it keep us posted on how it goes and post pics if you have them. Especially of the rusty...its not a fish you see all that often. I have a sweet little flame that replaces a coral beauty I lost a few months ago.

I think your tank is big enough to house two pygmy angels. Another potential problem might be aggression between angels and tangs. I had both rusty and bicolor, and they squabbled a lot with my baby hippo tang (maybe because of similar shape?). Your flame might be do the same thing with your tangs, but since your tank is spacious, this won't be a major concern for you.
