African Flameback Angel

Divers Den has had the brazilian species lately but not the african.

No they had both, the African sold right away and the Brazilian hung around.

I have one in my 60 reef. He leaves the coral alone for the most part but I cannot keep any meaty lps in with him. He shares his tank with a pygmy angel who he leaves alone for the most part, as well as a barage of other reef fish. He is probably the meanest fish in my aquarium.

So he can get the best of your Cherub? WOW! My C. argi ( Cherub, Atlantic Pygmy Angel) was the meanest fish in my Reef.. Killed a couple of Dottybacks, BTW.
All argi complex angels are pretty tough.

Yup, he puts my cherub in place, although I do believe that the flameback is male and the cherub is female. They do sometimes show breeding behavior when the lights are about to go off.

My african flameback is a model citizen. Never nips at corals or harrasses any fish. He is the smallest guy in the tank. He is in with a blueface, majestic, coral beauty, yellow tang, purple tang, naso tang, regal tang and a cleaner wrasse. Outside of the cleaner wrasse he is the smallest in the tank. Such a cute fish with a great personality.

I picked up an african flameback yesterday, seems to be doing good in my tank.

very neat looking little fish. he is bossing my cardinals around but ignores my clowns for the most part.

I have a pair of flamebacks in my sps dominated tank. They do nip on the sps but no damage is being done. They are great fish don't bother anyone and I also have clams and two scolys and they leave them alone. Good luck.
