    Yup, my angels are the most personable fish in the tank.

    I like my false lemonpeel... I have heard that these have better temperament than the true lemon peels... mine is super sweet and very personable... he comes up to the glass when I get close to the tank!

    gotta remember , theres no guarantees on dwarf angels being reef safe. but on the other hand , ive got a coral beauty and flame together. and with no nipping from either one. so you could get the nipper or the model citizen. good luck jay

    I agree with the others, dont get a fish that is going to outgrow your tank... so only dwarf angels.... althought the flame angel is not always considered reef safe ... but then again it depends on the individual fish. Just make sure you choose a fish that will be happy in the size of your tank ... a powder blue will definitely not be the right choice. Anyway, wishing you lots of luck and fun with it!!!!

    I know plenty of people with C. potteri in their reefs. They are one of the safer dwarfs, also beautiful IMO. Good luck. :)

    IMHO tangs and angels are too big for a 46 gallon. How about a firefish or a Green Chromis, both are very colorful and wont get to big for your tank, plus you can get both for under 25. And they are completly reef safe
