    i have a flame and a coral, they like to chase each other, but my kole tang keeps them in line! haha but i do enjoy them. they add a lot of color to the tank.

    I have a 75 gallon display with a adhi 45 sump.

    you can see them better in the second pic. and surprisingly i have never really seen them nip my corals, or seen any chunks missing! lol i put them in the tank at the same time, but after the kole tang. So the kole pretty much rules the tank and if they start chasing one another the kole breaks up the party pretty quick.

    Wow toad the angels and the kole look great nice tank btw, and my royal gramma, for some reason, runs the tank. I always thought it would be the maroon clownfish

    And eelgirl, I loooooove the bicolored angels, how old is he and does he nip at all chalices and acans.

    Does anyone know if in a 65 gallon tank/80 all together/ I could have a potters and a bicolored/ potters and a flame. And if so they cant nip at any corals, any advice keeping well fed, lucky etc.

    most dwarf angels only require a 30 gal tank. so with a 65 display you should be fine with 2 dwarf angels. and a lot of people say its a nono to keep 2 dwarf angels in a tank but from my experience if you add them at the same time your chances of success will be much greater!

    This was my wrasse, sadly it died on Sunday, although I dont know why. Water params were fine and the night before it was out eating and swimming just like it always did. Wife would not be happy if I bought another, it was the most expensive livestock I have ever purchased.

    yes. nips at acans and chalices. and anything that is dying...so it has no chance of coming back :-/. but my boyfriend set up a 29 just for those corals lol.
    we have had her (just a guess cant tell if its a he/she just always thought of it as a her) for almost a year now. she is very territorial.
    iv been told i was lucky with her. most people say bi colors are the worst dwarfs at nipping
