Talking Flame Aangel

I have a 14-gal biocube and am trying to decide what fish to purchase! Would a flame angel do ok in a 14-gal? If not what other fish are out there that would do good in a 14-gal? Would a clown be ok? If so, what about a maroon clown?

Thanks for the help!

i think a flame angle is rated to be in a 30 gallon tank or bigger but you can try it if you want. i know athe clownfish would be ok if you only keep one in there

I would get nano fish. Think gobies, blennies and percula clowns.

i have a flame angel in my 29 gallon and he seams a little cramped. i don't think it would do well in a smaller tank at all.

Yeah I have a flame in my 30g and he could use a little more room I think. I wouldn't add one to a 14 gallon
