Flame Angel

[hoopsdaddy]

Got a chance to get a good looking Flame angel tomorrow for a great price. Anyone ever have one in a reef tank. It is currently in a tank with a couple of encrusting corals and a gonoporia??

Any advice?

 

[dustin_P74]

this should cover it

Mine is very peaceful to the other fish and has not nipped at anything in the tank......yet!

I say go for it.

 

[dustin_P74]

just like everything else its 50/50

I think I will try it because it has been in a tank with corals for a month and hasn't been a problem. I will throw a couple of corals in with it in the hospital tank and see what happens.

My flame angel has yet to touch a coral(that I know of).Dont bother any of the other fish.
Just keep in mind thats its still an angel fish,and therefore could develop a taste for coral polyps.

If it does I may trade it back or put it on a hook and go fishin!!

i wonder if large mouth bass have a taste for saltwater angels?

Wondered that a few times myself.

 

[dustin_P74]

maybe you can take your flame angel on a nice vacation and see if marlin have a taste for it

 

[yote]

To small for marlin.

 

[dustin_P74]

maybe your mantis farm can produce some more bait for it

 

[yote]

My damn mantis has got to lazy to chase a fish.Now he just sits and waits untill I feed the tank.

 

[dustin_P74]

maybe thats a good thing

 

[yote]

Maybe

 

[hoopsdaddy]

Was going to ask you Yote how the farm was going. Glad to hear it is still producing.

 

[yote]

Its holding steady any way.
I'm trying to get it to eat out of net.Then maybe I can catch em.:D

how many mantis do you have?

 

[yote]

Just one that I know of.
But its the 4th or 5th one I've had hitch hike in since I started this hobby.

Yote if hes not chasing fishes why not let him be until he gets stupid again?
