is this fishes compatible ?

is this blue tang and flame angel compatible in a mixed reef tank ? (no sps ) . i have read up on books that it is not advisable to keep blue tank in mixed reef tank . please help

Blue tang no problem. Nice addition to a reef tank. Flame angel is a nice fish but whether reef safe depends on luck. Seen some that are really reef safe but also seen some that terrorise the reef.

how about yellow tank ? bicolour ?

[scarab]

Tangs are reef safe. So yellow tang is ok. Just have to be careful on sequence of introducing tangs into your tank. The milder ones like blue tang should be introduced first before the fiercer ones like yellow or purple tang goes in. Another consideration in your tank size. Tangs need swimming space. I suggest minimum 3 ft tank before considering keeping tangs.

Bicolour angel. Hah you want one? Got one in my refugium. Threw it there because it kept pecking on my corals especially pratas. Need I say more. But again angels are by luck. some good some evil .

Well like I say, some good and some evil . You can try your luck. Might get an obedient one and leave your corals alone.

Do a search for anthias. Has been discussed before. Some are very easy to feed...some are very stubborn to feed.
