C Jerome Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I have a pygmy angel in my 15L and he has been doing great for about 2 years now. I notice he picks at algae on the wall and sometimes on the rocks but I have not seen him nip at corals, everything in the tank is doing fine. He is one of the best fish I have had, very active swiming around and through the rock work not just sitting around or swiming in open water. Great fish! C. Jerome Link to comment
reffer9391 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 See agreed great little fish for a tank 15-30g or more jsut after 30g I think a dawf would be fine. Link to comment

pico1 Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 What is the story behind FF and his dad and them being rich? Also I wasn't worried about not having enough space, I just don't want an angel that will nip sps or clam mantles. Link to comment

Also I wasn't worried about not having enough space, I just don't want an angel that will nip sps or clam mantles. It's never 100% with any angel. If you want to risk it, get the youngest angel you can - if it has not had a taste of clam in the wild, perhaps it won't associate your clams with food. But either way, it's a risk. Link to comment
