Very nice. Has anyone kept a Flagfin angel? I am reading mixed reviews about hardiness, and any help is welcomed.
-Kirk
A while back, I had a flagfin angelfish in QT for several weeks. I've read a few times that they can be a bit difficult to maintain, but mine did quite well. The fish ate from day one and would eat everything I offered. It never showed any signs of illness, although the water quality was always very good. I was about to add it to my main tank, but one day I came home from work and the guy had jumped out of the tank, It was a shame. It's the only flagfin angelfish I've ever had. I'll probably try again in the future.

My wife’s favorite is the coral beauty angel.
My niece picked a false lemon peel angel.

Yall. I fell in love with quite literally the worst financial decision in history. The Hawaiian Masked Angel. Luckily I don't want a pair... But still XD

Dream Species for me. As well as the interruptus. But that may never happen ;(

Hope CB brings the prices down to something attainable.

My multibar angelfish. I just posted a bit about my struggles initially with feeding over in my tank thread, but it's been doing well for a few months now in my 130 and become quite the little meatball. With a personality to match!

I am an absolute sucker for angelfish love them they are perfect for my tanks where I have big fish with sharks. I know they have a reputation to nip at sharks but trust me they don’t they will for rays though. I have kept many with by far my fav being the regal I have also kept coral beauty’s, majestics (my second favourite) and a blue face which was the one who was nippy with my ray when I had one. With my experience with them with corals none of them nipped apart from the blue face with a dying coral. I am in the middle of a fallow period with my shark however when I am back I was looking for angels. I am 100% getting another regal and maybe a queen or passer but also I was looking at the Chinese blue line they look really nice too does anyone have experience with them?

is urs a PITA aswell?

mine has killed my fairy wrasse
nearly killed my baby yellow tang
No, he's a pure angel! If anyone has questions, he's invited to a size-comparison ritual, where the guys stand close, parallel to each other to see who's bigger. And that's it, because the trout always wins!))) An absolutely peaceful citizen! Besides, I have two more angels there - majestic and flagfin.

I plan for one more on the Angel route in my 5 foot system, but for now it’s just watching the lot I currently have grow.

I'm going fish only with corals they don't eat. If they eat something, I take it out. Use to be a SPS lover, but had to many mini crashes where mostly only I only lost SPS. Usually from an alk swing.

So far I have a Majestic, Blue Face (changing), and a small Emperor.
