Angels and Tangs Only tank?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Recently decided to concentrate on angels and tangs. Have a fairly new 6ft tank setup (about 4 months). Only have a coral beauty, bicolour and some clowns and damsels at the moment.

Recently seen a pygmy angel but not sure will get along with the rest of my fishes. Does anyone know if they all will get along alright? Also thinking of getting tangs...wise choice or not?

Angels that i have at the moment are about 4 inches and the pygmy only about 2.....bullying? Will be trying to get about same size angels and tangs (about 4 inches)....will that keep the bullying in check??

From experience, which angels get along with which angels or tangs?

Thanks :thanks:

6ft x 2ft x 3ft

Suggestions so far.

1. Remove coral chips and ceramic rings and replace with live rocks. removed...looking for live rocks now

2. get rid of most of the filter cloth

3. First Buy!!! Skimz FR with Sorb4 and eheim pump

4. Re-doing the sump.....I~aquatic doing up the plans.

5. Lighting MH+T5 or T5 only? how many?

6. Chiller?

7. Wave maker

8. check valve on the return line to prevent sump overflow (great idea)

9. Refugium? Anything to replace it? a FR of some sort maybe?

Hi,

Most Tangs are big bullies.

If your 6 footer have enough rocks to create sufficient hiding place, IME most dwarf angels are perfectly OK, but bear in mind that they are not 100% reef safe.

I'll stock the expensive one first just to play safe and keep watch at your damsels :D .

Add in the Tangs last.

Mirror method?

I was always under the opinion that angels are more aggresive than tangs. Guess i'm wrong.

Pygmy angels not 100% reef safe? What do they peck on??

if u have tangs already in your tank, place a mirror on the side of your tank to distract your existing tangs before adding a new tang....monitor your new tang for a couple of days n when it starts feeding n your establish tangs have got use to it, then remove the mirror..

generally they will be agrresive to their own kind..

they might peck on your corals, depends on individual fish n luck as well...

hope these helps.
