    That's what I had read too, so I got a 37 thinking I could have a flame angel because it's my dream fish. But then at the fish store the guy said they need at least 100 gallons...

    Thanks for your input!

    Yep. I have my clown and damsel and then wanted to add just one more fish, and I was hoping a flame angel. There is a super small one at my local fish store that I fell in love with, until the guy crushed my dreams! Haha. I'm going to visit another local fish store and I'll talk to the people there about the flame angel.

    30 is the minimum, something like a 55 would be waaaay better especially if you wanted to have more than 1 or 2 small tankmates. My coral beauty uses all of my 125 and I personally wouldn't recommend anything smaller than a 4' tank.

    As long as you dont get anything else i dont see any problem with that. Make sure you keep up on the water changes and everything!! And post some pictures

    most of the research i did also recommended 30 gallons, with i think 1 site saying 50.
