29 gallon-Angelfish/Tang/Trigger

[camlov2]

I am looking for a fish to put in a 29 gallon Biocube. I like the looks of Angels, Tangs, and Trigger fish but know that size is a major issue. From what I have seen the only option I have is a dwarf angelfish. I know that for many of the dwarfs it says minimum tank size is a 30 gallon. (even that is pushing the envelope).

Question 1=Do I have any other options within these groups?

For dwarfs it also says "Reef Compatible: With Caution".

Question 2=What items would be at greatest risk to a dwarf Angel?

I have 4 Dwarfs currently available locally. 1)Half Black, 2) False lemonpeel, 3) Rusty, and 4) Coral Beauty. Half Black says up to 3.5 inches and the others are all 4 inches.

Question 3=Can you give any info regarding specific species that might be safer for coral or better for my tank (these 4 species or any others).

Thanks Brian

29 Gallon Biocube
Fish-Ocellaris Clown and bicolor (royal) Dottyback
False Rose Anemone, Anemone Crab, snails, hermits
Frogspawn, Hammer, Pulsing Xenia, Mushrooms, Zoas, Candy Coral, doughnut coral, Starburst (most are smaller frags)

I wouldn't add any more fish to that tank, most likely. I think it's fairly full, and dwarf angelfish are fairly large and active.

Dwarf angels seem to vary a lot, so I won't try to guess which corals are most likely to be at risk. Any of them might get munched.

29 gallon Biocubes are actually more like 20-23 gallon tanks.

Your existing fish will be much happier and your tank will look better if you dont add another fish.

I have to agree that you already have a full tank, and I would also be concerned about taking chances with your corals by adding a dwarf angel. If you must have another fish, go with something just an inch or two at adult size. Do a search for nano tank fish and look at sites and lists for ideas and compatability.

Jeez, Your pushing it already.

Ps. NO TANG,Or Trigger Should be placed into anything less then a 100 gallon.

Do you have a picture of your tank?
sorry to hijack...

I have a coral beauty angel in QT right now and it spends all day going in circles. After watching this fish for two weeks, I don't think it's very happy in the little tank and I wouldn't keep one in a small tank long term.
