SRC Member Trunks Posted September 6, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 6, 2003 Is it ok for the Bicolor Angelfish in the Reef tank? Will the fish eat corals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tanzy Posted September 6, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 6, 2003 50/50, some say 100%. One thing is for sure, it's a big risk. Don't even try. It applies to all angels. One day it can suddenly turn manic and start eating your corals and clams. Just avoid them in a reef tank. Quote Warning: Heavy handed moderator in operation.

SRC Member ReeF_LoVeR Posted September 8, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2003 so it is reef or not reef safe?? Quote http://r3.fodey.com/1ae71ee667ac04b60ba931...3ec.1.gif" border=0 width="312" height="107" alt="Ninja!"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Trigger Queen Posted September 8, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2003 IMHO, chances of an angel being reef-safe is low. learn it the hard way. had a flame angel that was well-behaved, then intro another angel n learn all the bad coral-picking habits from it! an angel leave ur corals alone but might decide on a new menu one day... and bi-color not easy to keep/feed. i think tangs are a safer bet in ur reef tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I personally think normal angel will peck at coral but dwarf angel will have 50-50 chance of not peck... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Hon Posted November 1, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 1, 2003 Mine started pecking after 2 yrs+ ... And I have spend another 6mths trying to kill the fish. no success yet .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tanzy Posted November 1, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 1, 2003 I personally think normal angel will peck at coral but dwarf angel will have 50-50 chance of not peck... 50% chance it won't peck at the corals on introduction into the tank. 99% chance it will if kept long enough.

SRC Member Dinosaur Posted November 2, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 2, 2003 Anyone wants a bicolor angel? I am trying to catch mine too But unlike the two other angel I am selling It does not really want to go into the trap so will offer only when i really caught it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member harmony Posted November 2, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 2, 2003 Personal experience. Bicolor Angelfish is not reef safe... both my tube worm and brain coral are the first casualties It is also one heck of a difficult fish to catch ....Now stick to reef safe fishes.
