First post so be gentle:P

 

I've got a 15 uk gallon nano that is six months old, live rock, 100watts lighting.

 

Current contents are vrious softies, (mushrooms, zoos etc) blue leg hermits, various snails and a pair of common clowns

 

Would it be possible to add a flameback angel to the tank?

 

Thanks

Yeah, it's possible. I would avoid it for a few reasons....mainly because he may pics at your zoos. Angels also like a lot of room and even though this is a pygmy angel he may be a bit cramped in a nano.

Too much invested in your tank to try an angel...unless of course those corals don;t mind little bites once in a while...LOL

Thr only angel I'd ever put in a nano is the C. argi or cherub angel. Flames are a nightmare: been trying to get one out of my 65 for 6 months now.....picks at everything and took out 3 clams on me.

I have read, and been told that all pygmy angels are very teritorial and are very mean in crampeed quarters. Virtualy al the angle family will pick at polyp's as well.

No pygmy angel should be kept in anything under 20g, no dwarf in anything under 30g.(us)

 

A UK gallon(imperial) is smaller than a USg

 

1.2 us gallons to 1 uk gallon

 

my 27.5G UK is actually 33.02G US

 

cheers
