Angelfish has to go

[Fifty8reef]

Hey guys!! I finally made the decision to evict my Flame Angel. He loves acans more than I do. My question is if it were you what would you replace it with? What fish do you think can give that same burst of color and personality?

If you're looking for another red, take a look at a Flame Hawk. Loved mine...cool little fish with a great personality. Just be careful if you have shrimp.

Check out some fairy wrasses. I have a Blue Fairy, that is actually bright red, that catches your eye from across the room.

I’m hoping mine will not pay any attention to anything like that once I start adding them.

Mines did fine at first. Then I bought 5 acan frags thinking I was ok. They were gone in three days

I'm thinking of doing a couple wrasses as well. Some beautiful ones at the same price point. North East Ohio 70-80

I'll look into one. I have a Falko Hawk that I like as well

Personality? You mean, bullying and intimidating any similar or smaller sized fish? I would recommend taking a chance on another dwarf angel (ie Coral Beauty), but I'm not sure you want to take a chance with another coral nipper. A Wrasse would be an awesome choice. I am personally a big fan of the Halichoeres Wrasses (ie Melanurus, Christmas, Red-Lined) but be aware they can pick of snails, hermits and smaller shrimp. Flame Hawk would be good but I am not sure how two hawkfish would do in the same tank. Also a Flame Hawk won't quite fill that same high profile open water swimmer gap of the Flame Angel, as they prefer perching on rocks.

Yes that is what I was looking for. Always on the move. I'm going to look into those wrasses. One or two could be my main show fish
