flame angel compatibility question

[tripleup05]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a question about the flame angel and what it can get along with. I think i know the answer but I want to ask anyways. I'm thinking about getting some sort of shrimp goby with its paired shrimp, a firefish goby, and maybe some kind of flasher wrasse. I believe the flame is too aggresive for these, right? it is my favorite fish (i know i cant get it for awhile, my tank is only about 3 months old) but i really want one eventually. if they are not compatible, can somebody make some recomendations for fish that will get along with a flame. i also really like the orchid dottyback, so if the peaceful fish are outa the question, what could get along with the dottyback and flame?

Dpending on the size tank you are going to put these fish in. The fish you want will be fine with each other, there is no real compatition for food. IMO i would put the flame angle in last, if it is not to late, do to the fact it will be the larger of the fish you named. Good luck

an orchid dottyback is a peaceful fish IMO

I think all of those fish would be fine in a 46gal.

would a flame angel get along with a kole tang in a 60 gallon reef? I just added the kole tang yesterday. He is very happy with the other tank inhabbitants. I know the 60 gallon is on the small side for the tang... but he is much happier than stuck in the little tank at the LFS.

8O WOW, No I'm just kidding, Yes, they are compatible. I will have to say it depends on the personalties of each fish. You may have a vessious angle that is always grumpy or vice a versa. All in all they should get along with no problem. :wink:
