Singapore And Coral Beauty Angel

[saltwaterfanatic]

hi i just bought a singapore angel will it be able to live in a 30 gallon its whole life??? also will the coral beauty eventually fight with it since they are both dwarf angelfish?right now they are not fighting or chasing they are both just going around the tank picking algae off rocks. thank you!

Singapore angel as in Chaetodontoplus mesoleucos?
If so, it is not a dwarf species, it will get about 7" full grown, it is not suitable for a 30 gallon tank. It will also likely eat corals if you have a reef system. I would also suspect aggression to occur with the coral beauty as it grows larger because of the smaller tank size.

Make sure you research before you buy!

I had a bicolor dwarf that would nip at my LR and coral. 30 gallons isn't going to be enough for one, let alone 2. You would need a very large (150+) gallon aquarium filled with LR if you wanted to keep more than 1 dwarf angel, to decrease fighting and to make their territories...

first of all the bicolour angel is the biggest of the dwarf angels and my coral beauty is only going to get 3.9 inches at the most and i will be upgrading to a 55 gallon at least very soon and i introduced the two dwarf angelfish at the same time to help lower aggression and lastly they have shown no signs of aggressions towards eachother or streess. and right now i have about 40 pounds of live rock in it so thank you but no.
