Brazillian Flameback Angelfish In 11g?

[lgarvey]

I have a book: The Nanoreef handbook by CR Brightwell.

At the back she has a list of nano set-up "templates." For the 10g tank, the fish stocking is: -

Brazillian Flameback Angelfish
Black Cap Gramma
Rainfords Goby

I know the Brazillian FB Angelfish is small, but I'd heard that they need a larger tank as they tend to be territorial, very active and prone to stress, and had never considered an angelfish for my small 11g tank. I am wondering whether anyone has attempted to keep one in an 10g-ish nano tank before and if so, how did they fare?

Cheers,
L

i wouldnt do it, dwarf angels are fairly active. Happiest when they have a fair bit of rock work to nip in and out of.

OK didn't seem right. I could imagine the fish pacing back and forth all day in a very enclosed space.

Cheers, Ben!
