Flame Angel - Add Last?

[Black Mammoth]

I was planning on adding a Flame Angel to my system. I know that you are suppose to add Tangs last to the tank, but I what about Flame Angels? I know they aren't tangs, but I read on LiveAquaria to add them last and I've never heard that before.

Should I make the Flame and Tang my last fish to add? I only have 5 Chromis right now, so obviously I want to add more fish.

Thanks

What kind of tang are you adding?

I haven't decided yet.

If you don't know what kind of tang you are adding, then we can't really help. Some tangs (such as a powder blue tang) are more aggressive than other tangs (such as a hippo blue tang).

I would add a hippo blue tang before or at the same time as the flame angel. However, I would add the powder blue tang after the flame.

If you give a fish stocking list, maybe people can help you.

I think you guys are mis-understanding my question. Let me rephrase the question.

Can the Flame Angel go in next? I will be adding more fish (Clowns, Goby, etc).

Thanks

No. The Flame Angel needs to go after clowns, gobys, damsels, etc.

I would put the Angel before a Tang though.

I would wait until the tank is a bit more mature before adding a flame angel.

I have a flame angel and a Unicorn tang.

I also have a blue damsel, a clown goby and a yellow-headed goby.

The Flame bosses around the damsel but leaves everyone else alone.. Not sure why, but have the damsel anywhere near and she goes after it.

I added the unicorn and the flame at the same time. My unicron is a juvie and the flame an adult.
