R*Frost* Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I was thinking that it may be possible to keep a chereb/pygmy angel in my 15 gal tank becasue of it's usual max size of 2" in captivity and it's reef-safe asepcts. Has anyone else every keep a Chereb Angel before and has some advice on them plz reply help appreciated Simon Link to comment
Pikelet Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I haven't kept one but I believe that the "reef safe" label has been shown to be a little doubtful. I personally believe that 15g is too small for a pygmy angel given their browsing habits. Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I want an angel for my 15g too, but it's not going to cut it for the FLAME.. I don't want to put one in a space so small if I know it's not going to survive, it'd be mean! There are a lot of other nice fish around that would fit in the 15 though Link to comment
Korbin Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Look into starcki damsels. Not ferocious like other damsels, and similar coloration to the flameback angel. And then post pics when you get it. Cause I want one Link to comment
chufa Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Cherub angels are expensive. I saw them for 50 bcks a piece. Nothing like a 3$ damsel or 10$ clownfish. Link to comment
DAP Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I have a 3/4" long Cherub in my 20h. It is the only fish in the tank. It zooms in and out of all the caves, and rock openings. Very reef safe. I had a similar sized Cherub in my 125g for about 2-1/2 years, it never grew, well....... maybe an 1/8". It ate like a pig too. I have only seen one 2" cherub, and it was caught at that size. My 3/4" guy was only $ 20.00. Link to comment
