Passer Angel

Scubaken · 05/09/2015, 09:41 PM

I have a 6x3x3 fowlr system current inhabitants are

1 adult emporor Angel
1 coral beauty
1 black back butterfly
1 yellow tang
1 chocolate tang
1 bristle tooth tang
1 regal tang
1 clown wrasse
1 leopard wrasse
1 cleaner wrasse
2 orange / white clowns
2 orange / black clowns
2 blue spotted bennies
Big sand sifter starfish
Big blue star fish
2 fire fish

Would I be overloading the tank with a adult passer angel ? My emperor is a grumpy adult, I have been looking for a large angel that he won't bully or harass to death.

Suggestions or opinions most welcome, total system size is 500 gallons.
Have about 650 Lbs of live rock

I think this might be a good question for the Reef Fishes section: you need an angel expert.

Even though it is a huge tank a adult imperator and a passer you could be asking for trouble.. All the passers I have owned in the past were almost impossible to keep other large angels with even in 300 gallon plus tanks.. Some imperators can also be the same way ..

Passer juveniles (which is what are usually available) are tough customers. Passer adults are terrors.
