Eibli's Angel + Lemon Peel, or Yellow Angel

haywood2 · 01/25/2008, 07:41 PM

Could I house an Ebli Angel with a Lemon Peel/or Yellow Angel in the same 75 gallon if introduced at the same time? The inhabitants are 85lbs live rock, 100lbs live sand, 6 turbo snals, 4 cerith snails, 3 chromis, 1 false percula clown, a yellow face goby, and a brittle star. Which would be the easiest Angel to care for, and the hardest? Thanks for the help. The chromis are less than an inch as is the clown. The goby is about 2", and the starfish is pretty darn big. Thanks again, I don't know what I would do without this site.

Multiple dwarf angels in that size tank might be a problem. I'd stick with one. The most popular choices would be a flame or coral beauty. Scott Michael has some books that might be useful.

I'm not too into the Coral Beauty's, and the Flame's color will clash with the clown. How about just one Majestic, I've had a few people tell me they would top the tank off nicely.

I strongly recommend reading this article from RC's RK magazine: reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-09/jf/index.php

This one?

It's going to get quite large. I'm not sure I'd add it to a tank with that many fish.

haywood2 · 01/25/2008, 09:56 PM

Yep, that would be the one... beautiful fish

bertoni · 01/26/2008, 03:55 PM

Scott Michael lists it as delicate and requiring very good water quality. Also, it needs a lot of hiding places.

Lemonpeels are themselves somewhat fragile: a fairly gentle breed, but be very sure of your water quality.

you have a 75 gallon reef aquarium?
Lemon Peels are notorious reef wreckers.
Eibli might work. Navarchus would get too large.
I'm not sure what species yellow Angelfish you mean...
perhaps Herald's

I have a reef tank and in it I have a potters angel and a flame angel. They don't bother each other and both have stayed away from my corals. Hit or miss with these guys.

haywood2 · 01/26/2008, 07:39 PM

I don't see where I posted saying anything about having a reef. I just really do not know what to do next. When they say good water quality, would say 20mg of nitrate kill them?

haywood2 · 01/26/2008, 07:44 PM

ppm not mg

20ppm nitrates will not kill your Angelfish.
I didn't see you post anything about having a reef aquarium, either- that's why I asked. If you're not growing corals in this aquarium it won't matter that the lemonpeel is a nipper.

Haywood2, please read the article I mentioned above (if you haven't already). It's exclusively about pygmy angelfish and should help you with choosing!
