    I purchased a queen angel and was wondering of I am going to have a lot of issues adding more fish to my tank. I read some sites and they say to make this the last fish you add to your tank, but I can't imagine that everyone that buys one throws in the towel moving forward. I also would like to put in some corals down the road. Should I take the fish back since I plan to add some more fish and corals. My tank is 210 Gallons.

    Absolutely I would return it.These fish can grow to 18" and are known coral nippers.They can also be highly aggresive especially if placed in the tank first.Minimum tank size is 250 but I have seen them in 300's and feel they may be a little cramped .Beautiful fish in the right aquarium though.

    I would return it as well. Not just the size issue, but it's temperment will cause you problems when you want to add other fish
