Annularis angelfish experiences wanted

Please give me any and all info you know of including personal experiences with the annularis angel aka blue ring. after seeing a few in the back ground on different documentaries i realized the pictures on different online retailers don't do the fish justice

if your listing personal experience please include tank sizes and tank mates, especially any particular fish it did not get along with

any and all information is appreciated because i think one might be in my foreseeable future... i have a 175g bow(6ft), a 210(6ft) and a 200g(7ft) with the 210g currently empty(no water even)

well from what i read, they get to about 12-13 inches, are hardy, and can be somewhat aggressive(just like most pomacanthid angels). i personally think they would be fine in any of the tanks you listed; but as with most things fish related, the bigger the better.

randomfishguy85,
thanks for the ON TOPIC reply. i guess you and i have read the same things concerning the annularis angel. apparently its not a popular large angel here on RC based on the lack of experience reply's

Annularis is my favorite angel, and at the top of my list if I ever get a large tank. But unfortunately no experience with them. Following along on this thread if you do find anyone who has had one...

It would take me a week to answer all of your questions and concerns and all you'd have would be anecdotal evidence from one person regarding one fish. I agree on the LA suggestion. they do a good job based on a ton of info. I don't mind sharing info, but individual experiences really don't mean much, IMO. Somewhere, someone has done everything in this hobby with every imaginable result. My Annularis doesn't like my Sargassum Trigger; but that doesn't men Annularis Angels don't like Sargassum Triggers.
