what size for an agressive tank???

[rara12]

In my tank i would like 1 or 2 eels, not a sfe (i just dont find them as nice as the other eels). I would also like a clown trigger so it will have to be a larger tank. A harlequin tusk one or two grey angels and like 5-10 damsels. LR and LS would be included and no inverts would be added. So what size tank for all this.

id say your looking at a tank from 300-700 gallons

 

[rara12]

if its a 300 then i would like a shark or a ray or a look down

 

[sharkboy97]

the clown may turn aggressive towards the eels and nip them and same if you get a shark, if you get a dwarf angel instead of two grey angels the tank size will require a lot less

Forget about the lookdown. Most people, with a few exceptions (requiem and his 2700 to name one) do not have the tank capacity for a lookdown. This is another fish to add to the Moorish Idol list.

I agree that for the livestock you're talking about, I'd go with at least a 300 gallon. Keep in mind that the clown trigger and angels are not compatible with sharks or rays.

 

[lion_crazz]

Yes, I also forgot to mention that. You will have very unhapy and eyeless sharks and rays if you house them with triggers, angels, puffers, wrasses, etc. I would forget about the shark, ray, and lookdowns altogether.

ok so no sharks, rays or triggers, or look down...But i would like an eel or two. And i love grey angels so i want them.. Can i keep 2 grey angels and 2 eels in a 250?

I'd say yes to that. You could even add 1 or 2 more fish.

 

[rara12]

whats the smallest tank i can keep these fish in??? Could i also keep like 10 damsels, as little fill ins with out causing the bioloads to skyrocket???

 

[whitey]

Have you ever seen a full sized Grey Angel?
If you plan on keeping them long term, I'd think a 250 would be too small.

[aw2]

I definately agreed with Whitey.

 

[sharkboy97]

yea when i go diving i see them all the time and they ARE HUGE ANGELS more suited for requiems and novice150 tank

 

[surfinusa]

emporer angels are awsome

 

[surfinusa]

wouldnt get the damsel fish get something like a lion fish those are cool but the trigger MIGHT pick at the lions fins

 

[rara12]

I dont plan on staying a 250, and im not getting a trigger so a lion might work. My granperents have a 500g and they agreed to take anyfish that outgrowm my tank. Theirs is a semmi agressive fish only.so with all this known can i get the 2 eels and 2 grey angels for the 250?

 

[my way]

Won't 2 grey angels fight?

 

[surfinusa]

yeah wont two grey angels fight and i thought any two angels will fight

 

[lion_crazz]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend two large angels for any tank that size, but that is my opinion.

 

[rara12]

OK, so one large angel. Im thinking of getting a cortez instead of a grey, are they any better?
