Flame in a 30

[drummerbum]

Could i keep a Flame angel a clown and 2 or 3 small gobies in a 29g with a 15-20g sump/fuge?
Just curious?
:notsure:

 

[who dey]

wouldn't recommend the flame, he probably wouldn't be very happy

Then i'll probably wait untill i can afford to set up thiss 55g thats sitting in my basement.
Thanks

yeah I agree, wait until you get the bigger tank, he will be much happier. they are a lovely fish though.

i have a book that says min. tank size for a flame angel is a 20...hth, i have one in a 90 and i don't see that he swims so fast that he would need a huge tank

I have a 46gal with a yellow tang and two yellow tail damsels. You think I could add a Flame to the tank? If the damsels are a problem, they might be comming out soon anyway. Do flame's get along well with groups other of tangs, I was thinking of adding a Kole tang and possibly a Schol to the tank also.

dhughesz28, First of all that tank is too small for the tang. I hope you are planning on moving it to at least a 60gal. The flame would be okay in your tank though because it is a dwarf.
DrummerBum, the gobies would be okay, a little too small for a flame tho. Id say at least 40gal for all of those.

I have a 29 g and I wanted a flame angel but decided against it. I think they are to big for the tank. I went with a cherub angel instead. I love them!
