No......... IMO for large angel, a tank ard 5feet is needed....BF wun be happy in a 3 feet and FYI BF is not easy to keep...... A mature tank is needed and they are definately not for newbies(like me)....... They are not reef safe too

3ft Not a problem for a juvenille. This fish is quite hardy once acclimitised.

Isolate it in a container first and monitor for min. 1 week. Soak in fresh water if necessary for 10secs per day if white spots appear. Once recovered, it is quite easy to keep.

Make sure you have sponges in their diet. Also don't save on high quality frozen food or pellet, flake foods. Lack of specific foods often leads to HLLS.

this is my wife's blue face angel from her FOWLR tank.....

IM Exp........get the juv.. better chance of survival....bigger ones tend to do badly (some are cynide collected)

An aggressive fish...you got to prepare to upgrade for the guy when he grows up....we are currently planning our 6ft FOWLR just for these angels in her tank.....

IMHO blue face is one of the easiet big angel, BF rating is as easy as koran, annularis, and six-banded angel. Actually emperor and majestic is the more difficult big angel. But one thing FYI, BF is "very aggresive" angel, that dare to fight with other angel even bigger thatn him and fight until the new one is dying. I kept one for about 4 years, but i donate him to my sea world because he is very aggresive, you know he almost kill my Asfur. Just find the healthy and pay a reaction when you see the fish, is the fish is easy to catch, better ignore it.
