HELLO YOU SHOULD NOT RUN OUT AND GET A ADULT ANGEL YOU SHOULD GET A JUV FIRST. TRY KORAN ANGEL ITS EASY. I HAVE ONE THAT I GOT LIKE FOUR MONTHS AGO HE DOING FINE HE TAKE FROZEN FOODS! LEARN MORE INFORMATION ON ANGELS BEFORE YOU GET THEM BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY ANGELS PICK ON CORALS!! THERE A BOOK BY JOACHIM FRISCHE TITLE MARINE ANGELFISHES CHECK IT OUT READLY NICE BOOK WITH ALOTS OF COOL FISHES.

Blueking is right start with a juvi. Majestics definately are not one of the most hardy angels.

Queen angels are usually pretty hardy. I would try and get one as a juvi as they are usually a little less expensive. I also personally like the emporers.

Juvinile Angelfish are my favorites! I cannot wait to have a tank big enough to get one

Blue faces and Majestics are amoung the least hardy angels. That is not to say they can't be kept successfully, but they are not easy. Juveniles are easier to acclimate to aquarium life. The red sea angels like Half moon (Pomacanthus maculosus) and the Asfur angel (P. asfur) are very easy to keep. They tend to be fairly expensive, but most large angels are. They are worth it! Remember it is best to only keep one large angel in a tank, especially if the body shape is at all similar. Never try to keep more than one of any species, as one will end up dead. I also recommend as large a tank as possible for large-type angels. I would say 55 gallons should be the absolute minimum, preferably 100 gallons or more for these beauties.

Thanks for all the post. I havn't got a angel. The only one that's in my tank now is a Coral Beauty, but i think i could add another angel as long as it's from a different family.
So far you guys have recommended the Queen Angel the most, which i think is beautiful. If i don't hear from anyone else i think i'll pick one up maybe next month.

Blueking,
I think grey, french, and cortez angels are pretty hardy. The queen and blue angels also do pretty well (as juveniles). You might consider trying a tank-raised Asfur angel. I know they are available and are supposed to be pretty hardy. As far as I know they are the only tank-raised Angel species available.
