So I just had a bad angelfish experience, I added a YWG to my tank and my Pygmy angel went ballistic and just kept slamming him against the glass and chasing him all over. I ended up taking my Pygmy out and returning him to the LFS. But!!! I still really want an angel! Is there any recommendations of a dwarf angel that is less aggressive?

Sorry to hear that! Hope the little goby is OK. Only ones I can think of are the pygmy, flame back, flames, and potter's. Unfortunately I think it's hit or miss on all of them. I have a potter's and he isn't mean to any of my other fish. Good luck!

Try adding the angel as the last in your tank. Their aggression is usually focused on new additions.

He's okay, he actually jumped out right onto the floor, but seems to be calming down. I got a pistol shrimp and am hoping they pair up soon. We shall see! Thanks for the info!Sorry to hear that!

Thsnks! Not real sure I want to say I read it was from them feeding. Mine eats like a pig. I feed them LRS reef frenzy. He even ate some cheap instant ocean pellets though.

I'll look into a Potters then! Love the pattern and coloring
They're like regals, won't touch much food when first brought in. Mine didnt eat at all for 2 weeks of QT but when I put him in the main tank, he started grazing on the rocks and then mimicked the other fish eating. Now he's eating like a pig.
They almost do best going immediately into an established tank without a dominant fish that may intimidate it but you risk the diseases/parasites.
