Brazilian Flameback Angel experience?

[ReefLife1680]

Thinking of putting one in my tank. Wouldn't think twice about it but have LPS and clams in the tank. Any suggestions/insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've always had them in my tanks with SPS, LPS, and Clams, never had a problem..Not saying you wont, just saying I have not.

FWIW, I've had 3....I also like the Cherubs.

THEIR LIFESPAN IS ABOUT 3 MONTHS, WELL AT LEAST IN MY TANK

I don't have personal experience with Brazilian but have had good success with the african flameback pygmy angel. They do get a bit aggressive so best if added last.

I'd either up grade your signature or your tank size...

I had one for about 4 years in my 46 gallon bowfront. I sold it when i moved. It was my favorite fish. It added lots of movement and color to the tank as it swam around pecking at all the rocks. Never bothered any of the LPS or softies. For some reason mine hated my cleaner shrimp and would attack it whenever it came near him. He never did any harm to it though. He never bothered any of my other fish. I would not put it in a tank any smaller than 46 gallons. I think he looked a little cramped in there. Its not a big fish but it really likes to swim and needs lots of caves to go in and out of.

Thanks guys! I think he is worth a try!

if you do get one make sure you have enough space and enough live rock. also as already mentioned, make sure that if you do get one, it is the last fish in. they do get aggressive. i speak from experience.

Thanks for the help guys! I've been wanting to get one final fish and I think I found it!!
