I would like to add 1 angel to my reef.
Which one woulhd you rather pick?
Which one is easier to care?
I only have 1 pair of cinamon clown and Madarin in the tank.
Beside, I would like to add black cap basslet
What do you think?

What size is your tank? Is it a reef or fish only? I like the bi-color personaly. I think the yellow really stands out. I've heard that they are not as hardy as other dwarfs like flames and coral beauty. Let us know which one you choose.

I have a 75 Gallons tank reef
I can not add any new fish at the moment because my clowns are about to lay eggs.
I never see salt water fish lay eggs b4, this is very interesting for me

My personal favorite dwarf angel is the Lemon Peel, the yellow under good lighting is awesome. Plus he eats like a pig and has lived through a heater malfunction and has fought off Ich on his own.

I'm new to this hoppy. So I will choose the one that does not required the skills and knowlegede that I don't have.
Pygmy is more hardy. Is that mean he stronger? easier to thrill? easier to eat?
I feeded my fish with frozen brine shrimp and NutriMax. I'm looking for additional nutrition for my fishs tonight. Any recomendation?

Watch OUT!!!! Most of the Bi-Colored Angels you find here in the US right now have been captured using Cyanide. At least in the Washington DC area.
This means the fish is already in trouble before you buy it. I got one in my tank and after starting out wonderfully he died from stress.
