Female Bellus Angel

Hi I am just starting up and am thinking about a bellus angel for my next addition. I have a 55 gallon (which is already too small!) I currently have 3 chromis, 2 percula clowns and a coral beauty, 2 cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs and some snails. I would like to add a bellus angel, your ideas would be appreciate. Sure am glad I found you guys.

Well, they are considered one of the reef-safe angelfish, and so won't serve as a threat to coral. That doesn't mean that they aren't going to be territorial and aggressive regarding other fish. The reason I point this out is that it's a 55-gallon tank you're talking about. If the particular fish you'd buy is small, then you might want to take a chance with it, but it might be that you'd have to take it back to the fish store in short order. Just be aware of that possibility.

There no way it would work the coral beauty and the bellus would tear each other up. depedning on the bigger size will probably win the battle too. 55 gallon way to small for 2 angels to coexist.
