A Flame Angel or a Half Black Angel?
Hi....okay...decisions....I currently have no dwarf Angels in my tank. So I need your help....my LFS has a large half black angel in right now and a medium flame angel...I want just one....but I am not sure which one to get...what do you guys think? Any experience with eaither of these fish? Is one easier than the other in terms of being hardy? I had my LFS hold them until tomorrow. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thanks for responding! I am too actually! How hardy are they in your experience compared to Coral Beauties? The only dwarf I had was a Coral Beauty....and he was with me for three years...until I upgraded my tank....and I didn't get another one.

Bob fenner calls half black angels bulletproof staples for his old service accounts. I haven't kept one personally. They are very similar to lemonpeel and eiblii angels, even interbreeding with both.
Flames are very hardy too, IME.

as long as u have enough liverocks, most dwarf angels will do fine.
