Oh. So you wouldn’t recommend the lemon peel angel?i has one for years, it was with much more aggressive and bigger fish, and it was still a jerk. Plus, it was an SPS nipper.

No issues with them? Bali has captive bred ones now. I might go that way with one. At least I’ll know that it’s eating. Thoughts?I have a pair for over 3 years, but they are not captive bred.
I was interested when I saw this post, then nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price! Holy moly...
Good to know. I’m looking at getting some wrasse and anthias as well. I’ll put those fish in the tank before the dwarf angels then.I have had 2 pygmy angels in 11+ years. Both did well and neither have been bullies. They can be obnoxious with a new introduction to the tank, but they usually back off and quickly go back to their rock picking ways. I have introduced a flasher wrasse and a fairy wrasse with my current pygmy angle. Very pretty dwarf angels, too.
Do you have any yellow tangs? Just curious if there would be any territorial issues because of the colour?I have a pair for over 3 years, but they are not captive bred.
I put a beautiful cherub in my biocube. He was doing great until someone murdered him (I think it was my Sally Lightfoot). Only had him 2 weeks though. You wouldn’t want to go any bigger than a cherub or flameback.I’m setting up a 32 gallon and would love a Pygmy angel (cherub, flameback, etc). Do you guys think this would be possible? Other tank mates would just be a pair of clowns, firefish, and maybe a Pygmy hawkfish or yellow watchman goby
Lol. You didn’t specify price.I was interested when I saw this post, then nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price! Holy moly...
I am a fan of captive bred fish, but wild caught Joculators are very hardy as well. I don’t have any yellow Tangs.No issues with them? Bali has captive bred ones now. I might go that way with one. At least I’ll know that it’s eating. Thoughts?
No issues with aggression from your flame? Is it a captive bred one?For the OP, my favorite is a flame. Bicolors are beautiful too but I’ve never had one. They remind me more of a full size angel in body shape.
Ok good to know. I think the Joculator will be on the list with Conspic. Who knows, I might copy you and get two conspics as well . Any thoughts or experience with other dwarf angels?I am a fan of captive bred fish, but wild caught Joculators are very hardy as well. I don’t have any yellow Tangs.
Thank you very much for your input. How is your Potter angel? It’ll be a fish only tank, so the nipping won’t be an issue. How big is your tank? Does your flames team up against the other dwarfs?Depends on your definition of ‘best’ I suppose. I have quite a bit of tolerance for fish that nip, so even in my reef tank I keep a bunch of them. Currently I have a pair of flames, a potters, an Eibli and a lemon peel. The flames regularly spawn. Hoping the eibli and lemonpeel will produce a bunch of tigerpyge hybrids for me.
Some are highly cryptic, golden and purple masked. They can be kept, but mostly not in an aggressive tank. Others are just crazy expensive. Multibar is really tough to get eating.
Coral beauty and Bicolors would be good choices too.
i don’t recall having any issues but that was a long time ago - more than 12 years.No issues with aggression from your flame? Is it a captive bred one?

Mine will be a fish only. I want some bigger angels and butterfly fish in the tanki have a flame and it has been awesome. when i added it i was worried the other fish would pick on it, but he went to work quickly deciding he would be dominant fish. my female clown and the flame went at it off and on for a couple of weeks, but now they're cool.
personally, if i were doing a fish only tank and it didn't have dwarf angels in it, it wouldn't be worth doing. the only fish only i'd ever consider doing is some kind of angel/butterfly tank
coral nipping doesn't seem relevant to this thread, but worth mentioning mine has been fine with sps/lps (no acans/zoas/clams)
