I have had a 25 gallon cube for around 5 months and I have coral, two clownfish, and a lawnmower blenny. I wanted a pretty centerpiece fish to cap off my tank. Can I get a flame angel or will it too big for the tank?
There are a few things to consider. The mature size of the fish & Angelfish and corals don't always mix well especially a coral frag in a small tank. IMO the tank size would not work long term for a Flame. Only angel to consider would be a pygmy flame back or the like. Look in the nano fish section of Live Aquaria for some ideas. Royal Gramma or Pearly Jawfish would also be worth considering as your centerpiece.
If it were me I would make your clowns and an anemone the centerpiece. I have a pair of 6 year old clowns that command a territory of 1 square foot of tank space. Any fish that enters that space is quickly ushered away or bit. In a small tank this would stress out your other fish and stress leads to health problems. Best of luck with your tank.
Flame angel is way too active for a small tank like that. I recommend no.
Look at the Nano list of fish at LiveAquaria.com for suitable fishes for small tanks.
