Flame Angel

[jdogg]

Just added a dwarf flame angel to a 30 gallon tank that had a pair of clownfish and a tail spot blenny. The clowns were fine with the Blenny but are now chasing the flame around. Anything I can do to save the angel?

Rearrange your rock (disturb existing territories)

Hi there
Try putting a mirror on the side of the tank also you could try rearranging your rock work

turn off the lights and leave the room dark for a couple days

What kind of clowns? Many types will dominate a 30 gallon. To be honest the 30 is pretty smal for the flame to begin with. If i wanted a flame in that size of tank, it would likely be the only fish, other than tiny gobies or blennies and the like.

They are ocellaris clowns. The flame didn't make it 36 hours. Funny they accepted thaw Blenny fine.

The tank is so small in my opinion

Tank is too small for that combo of fish. I recommend referring to liveaquaria.com prior to buying your tank critters. They do a good job of tank size, temperament, food requirements and sometime tank mates. They recommend a minimum of a 70 gal tank. J

If you have a sump, you should place any aggressive fish in there for a week or 2 and rearrange the tank. When watching Finding Nemo, I thought he was so cute, I never thought he would be such an a**hole.

They must have changed that recently for about 5 years it said a 30 gallon min.

It still says 30 gal on almost any aquarium webpage I find. Sorry to hear that your flame didn't make it!

Regardless of what it did say, it now says 70 gallons for a Flame... IMO they can go in something smaller then a 70 but I just wanted to clear the air about what this reputable site recommends.
