Good colored dwarf angels?

[Master Kyle 297]

Flame angel? What are the most colorful ones? (Price isn't an issue for me)

 

[davelin315]

I wouldn't add one to your current stock list as in my experience the interactions with the fish you have won't be good.

I love my potter's angel. Great color as well as personality, but they can be tricky to get to eat and they may pick at any LPS or zoos

 

[johnc99]

IMHO, caveated with what davelin315 says, only you can answer that question as only you know what color you are looking for.

If you are looking for blue then you have the Pygmy Angel, White tailed Pygymy, Coral Beauty.
Yellow: Lemonpeel, or C. Heraldi.
Yellow/Blue Combo: Bicolor, C. Colini, Flameback.

Red/Orange - Flame, Potter, or Rusty Angel.

A bit of everything: Multicolor

Something a bit different: a deep water Coral Beauty or C. Eibli

But I don't think you can beat the contrast of a bicolor flitting in and out of nooks and crannies of LR; or the sheer audaciousness of a Pygmy looking you in the eye like he was saying "If that glass wasn't there, mate, I'd be having you!".

I saw one that had green, yellow, navy, and white stripes. I liked those colors, what kind of angel is that?

I found out its a Regal Angel, any comments?

An awesome angel, for sure. But, a Regal angel falls int the "large" angel category ... not a dwarf.

 

[Curious George]

An EXTREMELY difficult fish to keep and truly needs expert care. Not trying to dissuade you, but you might want to start with some angels that are known to be hardy--like a Coral Beauty or Eibli.

 

[Master Kyle 297]

How about a potter's angel?

How about a potter's angel?

Definitely not for a beginner.

You maybe interested in a coral beauty or a rusty.

[Master Kyle 297]

Yeah coral beauty and/or flame angel

 

[snorvich]

Fix your current stock list before thinking about adding anything else.

 

[Master Kyle 297]

I know, i like to plan ahead though so when i trade in my fish i know what to use the store credit against

I have a coral beauty & an African flameback. Both are great looking fish with plenty of color and personality. I've never had good luck with flame angels. The few I've tried always had to be traded out because of coral nipping.

 

[Master Kyle 297]

That's funny, i've had a copperband and heniochus butterfly a long time ago and they are known to nip at corals but never did ... Odd isn't it?

 

[enjetek]

no more new fish. no more new threads. sell fish and then we can start planning again.
