    They are a beautiful fish I like the bright yellow in a tank  I was going to get a Yellow tang but everybody seems to have one of them, And I think that the Yellow tang and the powder blue would fight.....................  John

    Jason, my experience with angels has always been a bad one. The coral beauty I had ate my shrimps legs off. The little cherub angel chased other fish. The bicolor died for no apparent reason and I've tried the bicolors many times. Every time they live for a week and die. Every person who I know that has kept flames say that they are bullies. I can't say anything about a lemonpeel never kept one and never have got into conversation about one.

    I am almost in the same situation with my 33 G + 10 sump
    I guess my next acquisition is a six line wrasse. I also like the Flame angel but apparently its not always reef safe, some say its save, some say its not. And also, i guess that a 40 G is a little bit small for him in my opinion. If you want a rare fish, try the Helfich firefish. Very nice colors! expensive .... purple firefish could also be a choice.
    Tell me what you think and if you guys think that an flame angel can fit on a 40 G, maybe i will do the same too ;)

    How many pound of LR do you have?

    In the 40G I have 30lbs in the tank and 20 in the sump.
    unfortunately Dart-fish (Fire-fish) and Basselets don't always get along

    When dealing with fish I would only count the Gallons in the tank, actual swimming room as the total water volume
    I was thinking of a six line but I have my feelers out for a Lemonpeel Angel. I'm going with JohnO recommendation as it is a very beautiful fish.

    As per John's suggestion I ordered a Lenon Peel Angle and WOW what a beautiful fish. He is still kinda skidish so the only photo I chould get wasn't very good.

    Thanks John and so far all coral OK. Haven't seen him even pick

    I should use the spell checker because I have it, But in my defense the "n" is right beside the "m"

    Thanks again for the suggestion yes its a beaut.
