Which Dwarf Angel to get?

happyface888 · #1 06/21/2007, 09:32 PM

As title says, but if it is possible fill us in with some detail about the angel and how hardy, favorite food,personality, how many other angels lives with it etc. Looking to buy a dwarf angel too, so far Im planning on getting a rusty angel and a cherub angel. The flame angels nice but pricey so fill me in on the others. I might swtich the choices.

I've got a coral beauty .. weird fish. Partially psycho, depending on the day of the week. Mine doesn't bother most corals, but started picking at an open brain coral when I added one to the tank recently. I ended up using that as my excuse to add another tank the system so I could separate the brain coral from the angel.

Otherwise, the coral beauty is a cool fish, but absolutely psycho.

Flame's are my favorite. If you don't have the $$$ then wait till you do...if you really want one. I have one in my 65g and, besides my lawn mower blenny, it get most of the wow's!

You may want to check out a Blue Devil (Chryslpteria cyanea) they are a stunning blue...not sure of the price...

do you have a picture of that angel? sounds cool, I know that there are 2 different regions where you could get flame angel one is redder and the other isnt. But anyway whats its personality, hardiness, etc.

Happy - The Blue Devil is actually a Damsel but looks like a dwarf angel. They are really stunning and very affordable!

Check it out man:

I like the African Flame Back, C. Pectoralis and C. Flavicuada. Of course not all three, but in terms of color and limited availability. Not every one will have one. Flames seem to be the poster dwarf species. These dwarfs listed are found in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Africa and the Maldives.

XD Damsels are affordable but aggressive, I might have some clowns so yeah..

I have an African Flameback, was kind of shy at first but he is getting more brave. It prefers the Formula 2 pellets to anything. Awesome fish , doesnt touch any of my corals either.

that angel, I looked it up says it can reach 6inches kind of big and the colors look kind of dull to me. Maybe someone can post one and change my mind.

A guy I know has one and it bites his SPS polyps, doesnt hurt the coral but it keeps the polyps closed most of the time. Im not sure if it is just random or not though. Did you look at the Flameback yet? It has awesome blue and yellow colors.

www.marinecenter.com has pictures of most of these dwarf angels. My personal favorite is the Potter's Angel. Love the pattern and the colors.
