Good morning. I fell asleep early. Sorry. Long days on my feet are brutal.

Hippie kid decided on a risky fish for the new tank. Completely shocked me. "We can't really have a Miracle without an Angel, can we?"

Katrina71 · Dec 29, 2019

The first mention of an Angel of any kind, ever.

SashimiTurtle · Dec 29, 2019

I have two moving over to the 90 next week... I'll let you know how that goes. You know how my clowns are with angels...

Katrina71 · Dec 29, 2019

Now for researching Angels. I'd appreciate suggestions.

Nox
Bicolor
Coral beauty
Multicolor
Elibi

Pretty much any of the Centropyge will be comfortable in the dream tank... but they may nip corals.

Katrina71 · Dec 29, 2019

He's aware they may be nippers. Now, which one would fair the best in a sump? Lol

Atlantic pygmy... smallest angel but has attitude.

Potter's angels are beautiful but can be hard to keep eating...

Wha? I was thinking the same thing. Still some beautiful fish. I would personally love a Watanabei pair one day. Obviously @fabutahoun is a good resource here. @SPR1968 perhaps too (Angels in a 93 cube).

I have always wanted to risk a Flame. Just never had the cajones to do it.

Golden or gold flake are on my list, but the potters is easier on the pocket book. Anyone have a rusty before?

Fin · Dec 29, 2019

I haven't had an angel of any kind since the 80s when I had a Koran in my 200. So, I know very little about them.

She is a naughty little baggage to some fish, no actual aggression but she was bought for a reason.
My thinking was and still is that because she is captive bred she shouldn't see corals as food.
I have macro and micro algae, sponges and pods, if you watch smaller angels in a tank they are natural grazers and will graze all day, let them do what they should do, feeding for mine is like a treat and they eat anything I put in.

(Including softies and lps in the case of the venustus, it is next on the eviction list, I don't think the cherub will be a problem, it spends a lot of time in the cube and is a proper little pudge!)

I was thinking the same for captive bred.
