Emperor Angel and Blue Ring Compatability?

[GOSKN5]

Wondering how these two will get along- here are the details- I already have the blue ring- which was added about 2 weeks ago- it is about 2.5 inches and has already (almost) transitioned into adult colors

I would like to add a juvenile emperor angel also- tank is 8’x4’ with a good mix of rock and open space. Thoughts?

Imo, I think you will be okay to add the Emperor since the blue ring is established.

I was thinking my odds are decent with the blue ring in first (but not 100% established) and a little bigger, the emperor in next and smaller..

Should be fine. My annularis was just as aggressive as my emperor once she transitioned to adult colors. You may want to consider adding another angelfish at the same time as the rest emperor to disperse potential aggression depending on the size of the tank.

So even when the average interaction of a fish within a specific species is said to be non aggressive, non aggressive and so on. That has to be taken with a certain amount of caution still.

A buddy of mine got a 450 system going. Only to had a purple last. And the dude went on mercing about half his fish! Funny thing is, the tank he was in he was a model citizen. Something changed in his mind! He/she took out a blue face angle that was quite larger than him, he was slicing up all kinds of fish, including a yellow.

Then here is a tank like mine with no issues from the purples. Instead one of my yellows wanted to murder the smaller purple for about a week and it stopped one day out of nowhere.

My angles have the typical sparing of a second going on then it all stops. It’s any given Sunday if you ask me. I had a small issue when I put the pair of maroons in the tank. The tangs decided it was open season on my maroons. Then the female went nuts on them. And a day/two later it stopped. But the tangs had the maroon ring of death them. Haha!

Marin fish need sleeping hideouts, the more fish the more you need, food is a must in abundance, and of course space to a degree. You can’t do 6 tangs that average out in the 7-10” range in a 3-4’ tank and not see aggressive actions.


Bottom line what works for one persons system, might not work for you, and vis versa.

If you do get them in the end, keep an eye out on them.
