Let's see those Nanotank Angelfish ;D

I had a coral beauty in my 29 gallon, but had to get rid of it and I won't have one until I get my bigger tank.

And we all want to see yours!

I wouldn't suggest a flame in a nano but I did it for a month. One of the few additions I regret.



Cherubs are smaller but this guy was awfully aggressive.

Did you have any problems with the cherub nipping at any corals?

Nope, no problems with him nipping at corals (I have SPS, LPS & Softies). He did nip at my firefish and my assesor.

liveaquaria.com lists several dwarf angels that would be suitable for aquariums of 25 gallons or more.

I had a flame for a little while, until he got an appetite for lords and micros

When I get back from vacation I'm going to try and put together a nano dwarf angel club.

Should it be called, 'nano dwarf angel club' or 'nano dwarf angel thread' ?

Can I join the club if I put some halos on top of my fish?

Here's a shot of my Pygmy Angel right after I caught him to take him back to the store. He developed a taste for my Zoanthids.






Seemed like about a 50/50 chance of trouble w/corals, so I tried. I'm guessing that tank raised vs wild caught may have something to do w/wether or not there's any coral nipping. They're usually all aggressive toward smaller fish.

I have a buddy in my local reef club who's had a Pygmy in his 20L for 6-7 months now along w/a pair of clowns. He's had no issues at all. Just didn't work for me.

I think the chances of angels eating corals are a lot higher in nanos because there is only so much room, and the corals are always in their face.

I had an Eibli in my 24 but took him out for killing my Lobo I noticed much greater polyp extension on my SPS after taking him out as well.

This is a very good observation.

I have a Dwarf Angel & a Lemonpeel Angel (plus a Yellowtail Damsel & a pair of True Percs)....no problems with aggression or nipping at the corals.

So far I've been pretty lucky...

My Brazillian Flame Back angel has been a model citizen. In fact he only got a little beligerant once and putting a plexiglass divider in my 20 to separate him from the 2 clowns has stopped his rampage. After a couple of days I took out he divider, and he's great! I love him.

My Brazillian FB angel hasn't even picked at anything in mine. I have zoas, SPS, shrooms, and xenia and clove polyps. Come to think of it, he did nip at the xenia, but never with any gusto. He's been a great little fish.

I will post pics eventually, right now I'm in the middle of a move from Tucson to Utah, and then from Utah to Northern Wyoming. But the tanks comming with me!

I had a Brazilian flameback for years in my 46 bowfront. My all time favorite fish.

I've had a flame angel in my tank for almost a year now and he's been awesome. Here are a couple pics.

Pygmy Cherub Angel here. Love that guy. He hasn't touched any of my corals or my clam so far. Crossing my fingers that he doesn't develop a taste...
