Anyone has a dwarf Angel in their nano?

[gavij012379]

I was wondering if someone has a dwarf angel in their nano tank. I am thinking of setting up a nano tank (24 - 36 gal)and I am a big fan of flame angel fish. I wanted to know if someone has kept any angel fish succesfully in a small tank. If you have one let me know how long,tank size, and what other fish you have.

I have heard of people keeping dwarf angels in a 12 gallon. I wouldn't recommend it but I think it's very possible. I've had success in a 30 gallon tank, with a flame angel (close to a yr and then sold him) and then a flameback angel that was eventually moved to a 45 gallon tank.

I have had a flame angel in a 24, not a good idea, not enough swimming room IMO. I have a cherub now w/o a problem.

Here's another thread

i have a pygmy angel in my 20, hes great, gets along with everyone, and leaves the few corals/nems i do have alone. plus hes got a really cool personality, always the first guy to come out and greet someone new looking at the tank. he picks at the rock and the glass. so i could see how if you had corals everywhere in your tank that it would seem like hes picking at your corals every once and a while. hes in with 2 clowns, 1 sixline, and a scooter blenny.

I had a flame in my 24 for a few months. Very very very nice fish. I got it really small, maybe 1.5 inches. The smallest you'll probably see them. Then when he got about 2 inches, it just didn't look right. Its a very active fish, and IMO it needed alot more swimming room. If you do something like a 30 long that might be fine. But one of the 24 jbj or aquapods, might only be good for 3 or 4 months.
