My New Angel Fish

[perfectdark]

Shes on my thread but I wanted to share these pics anyway. This is my newest addition to my tank. I was looking for a fish not often seen, although by far not uncommon. The white tail pygmy angel isnt as common as the blue with yellow face pygmy. Hope you like....
Oh and no she doesnt eat my corals although in the pics it looks like she is snacking. She had a bad episode with one I believe when she went into my DT. She nipped at one that whacked her pretty good and fattened her lip to about 3 times its normal size. I havent seen her interested in a coral at all.

wow thats awsome! what size tank do they need?

Most of the pygmy angel species can do well in a min 30 gal tank with pleanty of LR for grazing. There are a few that get a bit larger than the typical pygmy size so a larger tank is recomended. My next one will be going in my 36 gal bow front its going to be a flame back pygmy.

Great fish Dark!
I saw one of these recently and thought it was sick b/c of the tail having no color.
Glad I was wrong.
