Flame or Coral Beauty?

[angelsj247]

I want to get an angel fish.. im debating between the Flame anglefish and the Coral Beauty.. any suggestions?

 

[RLMainers]

I like them both equally. The flame is definitely more stunning to look at.

Good thing you're not the one buying the fish.

I vote for the Coral Beauty.

How about a Potters Angel they are colorful.

yah that one is pretty... would it be ok in a 20gal?

I haven't had a flame but I seen them, they're pretty. But I do have a coral beauty and with the right lights they are stunning.

IMHO none of the Centropyge angels are really suited for a 20g - some of them are smaller than others but all want room to roam. Definitely rule out the Potter's, they can reach 5"+.

i vote flame angel

flame angels are corny looking....not very unique....looks like a kid's fish. plus aren't they worse with coral munching.

If you had a 120 I would say try both. I have a flame and a coral beauty in a 90. Introduce them at the same time with a anthias or chromis and they will split the tank and focas on the smaller fish. Be prepared to remove the dominate fish.

A twenty gallon is really too small for any dwarf angel. They need more room plus they need a lot of live rock to pick on and supplement their diet. If you get at least a 55 gallon tank I would recomend a keyhole angel. Not everybody has one and mine eats small aiptasia.(I love that fish!!) I'm not sure but maybe a pygmy angel would be ok in a twenty.

I agree that a 20 might be a little too small for a centropyge angel. But if I had to choose between the two I would go with a coral beauty. Sure the flame is a little more attractive but IMO the coral beauty is much hardier.
I also agree if you get a bigger tank, you could get both
