Angels we have heard on high: Do you have angelfish in your tank?

[vlangel]

I have a Coral Beauty named Angelica, although she is NOT angelic! LOL

 

[jonbear]

Coral beauty was an early fish as my wife wanted. totally out of my plan but it has been beautiful and accepted future tank mates including a yellow tang.

Emperor's are the most beautiful fish around but too big for me to ever have. Would love a Flame but I only have a reef right now and there's too much question about them being reef safe.

Watanabe and Swallowtail. Great reef additions.

Do you have pictures? Unfamiliar with those Angels, what in particular fancies you?

 

[littlefoxx]

My angels! Gizmo the juvenile french angel, Annabelle the orange belly wild caught red sea regal. Shes the star of the tank!

 

[Subsea]

Pgmy Angel is drawfed by Sailfin tang and yet she is not intimidated by Sailfin or Hippo. I would pick beautiful, fiery & firsty as what I see.

 

[1112-425XL]

Female Japanese Swallowtail, she is extremely active and completely reef safe. She constantly picks at the water surface so she has a belly full of air. The grandkids laugh because she burps and farts.
I had a Red Striped (Eibli) Angel but it enjoyed Acros, Saylor, Goniopora and Zoas so it went to the LFS.

Dawn,
Kudus to you!

I laughed at the Angel not being angelic. You have been such a good steward for marine life. One day when visiting my brother in Pittsburg I would hope to see your displays. I admire your success with dsb.

I had a couple flamebacks previously, but each time, the tang said nope! I now have a coral beauty. It is boss now.

Angels we have heard on high: Do you have angelfish in your tank?

Realizing that many marine angelfish are better suited for larger tanks, this seems like the right time of year to ask about angels in our aquariums. There are many types of Angelfish that are well known to the hobby, and they are stunning when they are healthy and well-cared for in an aquarium. Please tell us if you have any experience with Angelfish and if you have any tips to share. More specifically, let us know if you have angelfish in your tank.

Currently have a Centropyge aurantonotus (Brazilian Flameback Angelfish).
We named her Chelsea.

I have a missbar regal, emperor, and majestic angel. Beautiful!!

 

[romperstomper]

Flame and a Bicolor we did add a coral beauty but the Bicolor killed him within a few days and the flame took a liking to my latest £70 coral and killed it within a few days .Great looking fish but high risk .

I would dearly love to get a copperband, but I love the idea (we're not there yet) of having corals more, and a fish is for life, not until the moment you move from FOWLR to reef...

Gorgeous! I will be looking at your tank thread.,

Where’s the “No, but I wish I could option.” I love angels but I also love my clam that I have had for 2 years. I’m just not willing to risk it at this point in the game.

 

[rtparty]

Sure do. This is Ember. Picks at nothing that I’ve ever seen but loves to harass my anthias when they get in the way lol

That's one of my favorite dwarf angels. Someday I'll keep one.

Might be my favorite fish in my tank. The color is gorgeous and everybody notices immediately
