Hey guys,
I have a Coral Beauty Angelfish that has a bit of an attitude problem. First of all, I know they can be risky in a reef environment due to their tendency to pick at things, but it's the wife's fish and cannot go, for then she'll get upset, and the entire tank will be at risk. I had a Diamond Goby, (whom I applaud for his ability to keep the sand clean), but he decided to jump ship so to speak, RIP. I tried to replace him with another one, but this angelfish didn't agree with my decision and took him out quickly. My current fish stock is 4x Green Chromis, and the Angelfish. I want to be able to add more fish (really want a Blonde Naso Tang and another Goby) but am leery about fighting that may ensue. What fish may be able to hold their own against this angel? Is there a way I can introduce them that would minimize fighting, e.g. floating the bag for longer or even holding the new fish in a specimen container in the tank for a while? Thanks for any advice, but if push comes to shove, I may have to roll the dice and nix the angelfish.
