Adding Flame Angel

[dghall]

I have read that Flame Angels are quite territorial and need to be added LAST to established tanks. How long should I wait? I have staggered adding my other fishat about a two week clip, mainly in order to allow my LR biological filter time to catch up. Is two weeks about right? Thanks.

I don't think that it really matters if you add the flame angel last. I usually wait for about 3 weeks before I add fish, but that's just me. What other fish do you have already? This could determine your fish selection and when you should add them. Make sure that you do not overpopulate your tank. Just a note here; the FIRST flame angel I added was killed by my yellow tang.

Do you plan on having corals in this tank? Flame angels and other angels can pick at corals. Also, the survival rate of wild caught dwarf angels is very poor. You may want to do some more research on these fish first.
