blue angel or queen angel

[psilentchild]

Just a thought what fish should I get rid of to get a blue angel or queen angel.Im talking about compatiblity not survival rate.Here is my fish list.The first six I already have except for the kole tang but I plan on getting another one
2 maroon clown
midas blenny
orange sleep goby
orande spotted rabbitfish
bicolor angel
kole tang
pair of crosshatch trigger
pair of racoon butterfly
blonde naso
powder blue tang
blue ring angel
scribbled angel
regal angel
My tank is 560 gallon FOWLR

If the tank is a legitimate 560 gallons, I don't think you need to remove any fish. But as standard issue with Angels, nothing is ever a guarantee, even in a 560.

 

[WuHT]

better get both.

If you ever decide down the road that you'd like another angel, the ol' regulars might not make it a pleasant introduction

And again ... 560 gallons isn't a small bowl.

Blue Angels are pretty!! Here's mine hes with a huge French and Koran in a 150. No Problems

Fltt, that is a townsend, not a blue. Blues have no crown, but it has the body and tail of a blue. Nice fish, and I prefer the townsends as they tend to have more color then a blue.

Oh the LFS said it was a Blue Thanks for the proper Id.

My vote is for a queen!

 

[psilentchild]

Yeah but get rid of what?

 

[DamnPepShrimp]

Haven't we gone over this list a million times? I'd vote for a queen as well, but add it last and smallest.

 

[psilentchild]

Yeah I know I'm not ready for fish yet so my list may change and it may not.So I would rather come on here a miliion times then just to get fish and they don't like each other.I know mixing angels is hit or miss. It will be another three months before I'm ready for fish so I might post another list by then. So I could add the queen or do need to get rid of something

Psilent - just a bit of advise.

This now feels like the 100th thread on the stocklist for your tank. You are going to get better traction from people on this site if you create one thread and stick to it.

Also, fish list dreams are quite nice, but there is only so much people can take when it comes to role playing...

My vote is for the queen...replace nothing

 

[ccampbell57]

The other issue you are going to run into with your stocklist and your new tank is the fact that you have a lot of fairly "tough" fish that are not able to just throw into any tank and expect them to live.

You are also attempting to add multiple large angels which is VERY difficult to do with fish that you are unfamiliar with.

I have 7 angels in my tank, but I know them like the back of my hand. I have had some of them for almost 5 years now. They are used to other fish and have grown up in captivity.

If you introduce a large angel that has been in the wild long enough you are basically asking for him to fight for his territory that he knows in the wild. There is no retraining this mentality.

IMHO, start very slow, add fish as your tank matures and ensure that you are putting them in at a small (3-4") size.

Too much or being too fast in this hobby is lethal.

I would definitely say go for a queen. However, I agree that it's a bit of a stretch in even that large of a tank for the angels. I would love to have a tank full of angels because I adore them, but I would hate if they would not get along.
