    Canary Blenny, Yellowtail Fang Blenny, maybe a False Lemmon Peal Angel.

    well sure you could say any fish would be much happier in a larger tank and it owuld absolutely be true. but i continue to say that most dwarf angels will be fairly comfortably housed in a 30 gallon tank.

    Size doesn't mean everything, fisher's and cherub angelfish are just as active as a flame angelfish. Evan though they're smaller.

    Size means nothing? That means a 6" Bi-color would do equally well in a 29 as a 1" Cherub? Really?

    IMO, smaller fish need less food and flames seem to thrive off picking at the rocks more than eating fish foods. Sure they can be fine off just hand feeding, my view from reading up on the different angels is that the flame is prob the most sensitive, hence the waiting till the tank is 6 months old to get one general theory. Sure an experienced reefer can keep one just fine in a 30g, just may be better options for them. Its not our tank, not our decision, not our workload. We can only offer up our opinions, and the OP can do what they want with them.
