which angel???

[john harlan]

i was thinking about getting a large angel for my 100 gallon aquarium and i was wondering what would be good for my tank
what i want is either a blue face or emporer angel

 

[ophiura]

What is the footprint (eg length and width) of the tank? What are the other inhabitants and do you plan on having any coral? Do you have any other invertebrates?
IMO, personally, 100g is quite small for the larger species of angels.

 

[john harlan]

5ft long 1ft 6 in wide and 1ft 5 in tall with 150 pounds live rock
Spanish hog pink tail blue jaw purple tang and orange shoulder no im not going to get any invertebrates or coral

 

[small triggers]

and then with a line up like that what sizes are these fish and are you planning to upgrade when they need it? you have alot of fish in there that are going to get very big possibly soon depending on how big they are right now.

a juvi emp would be good for about two years

 

[john harlan]

the purple is the smallest at 2 in and Spanish biggest at about 5 in i am going to upgrade in about 2-3 years probably to a 250 or 300 gallon

the longer the better. If you bought a 2 to 3 inch Juvi emp which is a way better angel IMO. More active doesnt hide then you would be good for two years.
