Potters or Bi Color Angel (1 Viewer)

[Andy]

Anyone have these in a reef? They are marked " with caution".

Looking for the good & the bad experiences, please let me know.

I have always kept pygmy angels in my reef tanks (tanks I have now are too small tho). Have successfully keep potters, flame, eibli.... kept the eibli in a 125 with I think it was the flame angel... They set up "rounds" in the tank, with their favorite places to pick. They like the mucus on some corals and calms (just under the mantle, tho some have reported pygmy angel fish nipping at clams). They need an environment with lots of interesting crevices, and are OK with coral as long as they have a variety to choose from... they do not eat coral but they do nip at it to get the mucous. We also kept ours fat with Formula One and sea veggies. Pygmies do well with tangs, and they will dominate new inhabitants for a bit, but this can be minimized by introducing more docile species first or by placing a new addition in a transparent crate or container for a period before letting them roam free.

Also pygmies won't continue bothering a fish that doesn't respond do dominant behavior, such as most gobies, and perhaps some wrasse.

I hope that helps! They are among my favorite!

That helps a lot.

Looks like I'm going to try the two.

Thank you for telling me your experience

It seems if their markings are different enough from each other and they are either introduced together or smaller/least aggressive is introduced first, you should be good. What size is your tank and what fish do you have in it so far?

380 gallon.

Look at the tank link below. I have found though that it does not matter the size of your tank

If a fish wants to chase a fish relentlessly, it will to the death.


Most just chase for "pecking order"

more concerned with what corals they may destroy.
