What angel could I put in a 55 gallon tank that is a nice addition?

 

[melosu58]

A coral beauty would be nice. Also a flame angel would be nice.

 

[Marinefishman]

Thanks. Any others????

 

[Innovator]

Any others? lol, ok all Centropyge: eibli, multicolor, flavissimus, nox, tibicin, flavicauda, vroliki, aurantia, argi, bicolor, aurantonotus, acanthops , multifasciata, potteri...many others

 

[Marinefishman]

Which ones are best? Top three?

 

[melosu58]

The only three I`ve ever had were very hardy. They were a coral beauty a flame and a keyhole. I`m sure many of the ones that James gave you are hardy also but those are the only three I have experience with.

 

[Marinefishman]

How did you do with the keyhole? How big does it get?

 

[melosu58]

Unfortunately I had to get rid of him for munching on some corals. I had him for 4 yrs and he got probably about 5 inches.

Any more help?? I need it =]

Which ones are best is subjective, but my top favorites are C. bispinosa, C. loricula (Melosu's link), C. aurantia, and C. potteri. Of my personal favorites, C. aurantia and C. potteri, are relatively shy and more challenging. Most of the Centropyge attain no more than 4-5" with the pygmy's no more than 3". I think the most popular and readily available would be C. bispinosa, C. loricula, and C. eibli with pygmy angels (usually C. argi) making random appearances. Their main diet is algae, but feed on a variety of organisms in reef aquaria...always worth their weight I think

 

[Marinefishman]

Thanks. What do most of them eat??

 

[Innovator]

They normally relish nori or similar algae, but will feed on mysis, krill, clam meat, minced shrimp, minced fish, etc. You can create a food mash/mix with a variety of foods They will also consume sponge or other small invertebrates like feather dusters (usually small colonials).

 

[Marinefishman]

OK Thanks. Any more info??
