Coral Beauty and two

[Salt in Texas]

I have had Coral Beautys in the past and had liked them. Question is will two percs and a Coral Beauty share a 20g tank? I think I heard they will pick on corals? All I have are mushrooms and a leather coral. Thanks for the input.

Your tank is way to small for a CB

It's fairly generally accepted for most people that a 20G tank is too small for a coral beauty. I would start considering one at somewhere around 50 gallons.

Ok thanks for the input.

What happens if the tank is too small?

Ok thanks for the input.

The problem is that to get a dwarf angel big enough to protect it from the clowns... it will probably be too big for a 20g tank.

Oh I see. The one I have seen are 1.75" long. Is that big enough?

The angel will out grow that small of a tank. They need some room to swim and graze. They will get territorial as they mature so issues will most likely ensue. As beautiful as they are, I would pass on the angel.
