    Tangs are a no go in that tank, Unless bought very small and then traded in when they got some size, otherwise not a long term fish IMO. no more then 6months - 1 year.

    kacy is a good help :p Dont see why you dont want it.

    My Potter angel didn't last long. It was strong and healthy and starting to eat dried seaweed, but after about 2-3 weeks she didn't survive. Maybe a larger tank with lots of natural algae - but in my experience, and in my research on them, they're a very hard fish to acclimate to tank life. The Coral Beauty dwarf angel has similar coloring and is much more adaptable to tank life.

    Flame angels are also pretty hardy as angels go, if you prefer the bright red/orange coloration.
