Just wondering on tank size for these Angels as I'm pondering my next fish. I have a 110 gallon 5' long x 2' tall x 18" deep, and live aquaria says 125 gallons, so I'm wondering if their intent is length because 125 is usually a 6' tank. I am moving slowly to introduce critters, but have 2 ocellaris and a yellow tang, and the tang is lonely, sometimes hovering with the clowns in the corner! Thanks!

It should be fine in a 110.
 
Would the angel be larger than the yellow tang? Ive heard they can be agressive towards new tank mates?
 
The tang is medium size, so probably not. I think the tang is lonely at the moment he hangs out with the clown fish frequently, but I'll definitely look out for aggression. Thanks
 
Using an acclimation box for introducing the angel could calm down any aggression.
