    Be careful with the potters, it's labelled "expert only" for a reason.

    I meant that at Nunu saying they shouldn't be removed from wild
    There is the Gray Poma Angelfish. Has the same body style as some of the lager Pomacanthus Angels but can be kept in a 50-75 gallon. Common, although not many stores order them. Expect to pay around 70$

    Just because an emperor angelfish CAN be kept in a 150 g doesnt mean it SHOULD be. Im not sure what your arguement is, its my opinion vs yours.

    my argument being that they are perfectly fine in one. Depending on your bio load that is. Not saying that they wouldn't be better in a bigger tank, but it is perfectly acceptable IMO.

    My friend has a full grown Emperor angel in his 150G tank. He's been there for a good 5+ years. That fish can't get any fatter, and any more beautiful.

    You could try a lemonpeel dwarf angel. They have beautiful coloring, although they aren't exactly an Emperor.
