I'm looking at adding an Emperor Angel to my tank but had some thoughts and
questions to run by some more experienced with them than myself. My main
question has to do with the growth rate on them, I'm wondering how quickly they
grow on average.
The second question I have is about tank size, I have a
240 and a 40 breeder. I want to get a very small emperor to hopefully watch the
full color change over the years. I'm reluctant to add such a small angel to my
240 as I already have an established regal angel (5-6 inches) and a flame angel.
I was wondering if it would even be possible to house the emperor in my 40
breeder for awhile while he/she grew up a little bit. I was also leaning this
way because the 40 breeder currently has no fish and a few different types of
corals, but nothing special. I was thinking this would be a good way to
quarantine him in a more normal environment than my basic qt tank and see which
corals he has a taste for before moving to the larger tank. Will this idea work
at all, or am I just better off purchasing a larger emperor and adding it
straight to the 240.
