Reefer-begginer Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 So I am considering not doing a emperor angel again, as I now have 3 long spine urchins and I'm afraid they would end up attacking the emperor again. Question is, would I be able to do another emperor angel or should I end up getting a different angelfish for the 125g tank, preferably one that wouldn't attack inverts in my tank.

Leo_ian Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 A diff angel Emperors need MUCH larger tanks. The reefs.com fish database should give you some ideas If you had the time and patience maybe a goldflake? Cream? but swallowtails and dwarf angels would be best my favs are the multicolor dwarf and the watanabei females. What other fish do you have Quote Link to comment

What other fish do you have Raccoon butterfly, 3 tangs ( scopas, sailfin, blue eye kole ), exquisite fairy wrasse, 2x diamond gobys, long spine urchin, dersa clam, chocolate starfish, foxface rabbit fish, 2x tomato clownfish, cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp, arrow crab, 3x common giant hermits, 6x baby coral beauty fry ( had a pair breed then die, all that's left is the baby's ) Quote Link to comment
Reefer-begginer Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm considering getting some cardinals since I have clams now, maybe I can get them to breed Quote Link to comment
Leo_ian Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 a swallowtail angel would do good in there, racoons have been known to nip on clams so keep an eye on that. its so cool your coral beauties managed to breed and your babies survived, thats quite rare!!! kudos if you are looking for cardinals to breed, try banggais the larvae are easy to rear Quote Link to comment
Reefer-begginer Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yea I was considering swallow tails but I wanted more color Quote Link to comment
Leo_ian Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 you already have coral beauties so no other dwarfs, maybe pyramid butterflies? Quote Link to comment
Reefer-begginer Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Would the raccoon be ok with that other butterfly? Quote Link to comment
Leo_ian Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Honestly i have no idea, i have never kept butterflies but you can go ahead and do some research Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Sorry, you had urchins attack an angelfish? Quote Link to comment
Reefer-begginer Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Other way around, emperor angel tried to attack a pincushion Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Ah, oh dear. You'd think they would have the sense not to do that. Quote Link to comment
Reefer-begginer Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Its a angelfish, I doubt they are scared of a couple of spines Quote Link to comment
