Queen Angel

[michaelf1478]

i have a 125gallon fowlr tank withe a 33gallon sump system protein skimmer and a uv light and id say close to a 100lbs of live rock and i have had it set up for about 2years. i have a dragon wrasse, porcupine puffer, hawaiian puffer, volitan lion, 3 clown fish, green manderian, lawmower blenny, yellow tang, purple tang, blue regal, coral beauty, and a koran angel. so as you can tell i have a few fish and i need to stop buying and im looking at buing my last fish and i want a really nice one to to finish it off and i was wanting a queen angel fish but i want to be able to give it a good and healthy life. i have read that u need at least a 150gallon tank to have them and my 125 isabout the same lenght as most 150gallons the only differents is the height i have a 72X18 and i know i have at least 150gallons of water because of my sump.and one other concern i have is with my koran she is in the middle stage of changeing (just to give you an idea of her size) and i herd angels of the same family might fight if in to small of a tank. any info will be appreciated.

your tank is not big enough for 2 angels. You are pushing it with your stock list as it is now.
Your lionfish will get the size of a basketball, your puffer will be around 18", your tangs will be around 10" each.
IMHO you are overstocked as it is. Queens get to 18" and are aggressive. In a 125 with half your stock list your fish will pay for it.

Another word of caution, your Hippo (Regal) tang will become very aggressive when it gets bigger in that tank. I forsee your tangs in a messy fight. I have a hippo in my 180 now and she is almost 9" and she terroizes any new additions to the tank.

I see several problems in that list....
the tangs could fight
the puffers could fight or stress one another out
the puffers will nip the fins and spines of the lion
the tank is way overstocked

Dear hobbyist ,I presently have a 150 gallon aquarium which houses 12 fish which include:
Queen angel fish - 7.5"
Harlequin tusk -7"
Yellow tang -5"
Clown tang -5.5"
Hippo tang -4"
Blond naso-7"
2-green chromis'-2.5"
Orange tailed blue damsel-2.5"
Cleaner wrasse-2.5"
Royal gamma-2.5"
And a
3"Coral banded shrimp
I can tell you from experience ,the Queen won't allow any other angels in the tank .Also,the queen is the " boss" of the tank. Nobody bothers the queen . From time to time,the queen will spar with the Clown tang,and then things are back to normal .I'm not overcrowded with lr,but I have enough for each fish to have plenty of swimming space . And I'm enjoying every moment !

you don't have a enough room for a queen. trust me i've had one for 5 years. you'd have to get rid of some fish before you get a queen. you're fish is over stocked as is right now. how long have you had your tank with this many fish cause if you keep adding your just gonna have a huge crash and your gonna lose a lot of money.
