Is Flame Angel compatible with these fish?

[myloudkids]

I'm buying my first saltwater tank. It's an existing tank, which is being delivered to my house. Its about a year old. I really want to get a flame angelfish. Will it be compatible with the tank, which contains the following:
- JBJ 24g Nanocube DX tank
- 20 lbs. of live sand
- 20 lbs of live rock
- kORALIA nANO pOWER hEAD
- 2-3in. inch yellow tang
- 1-2in. clown fish
- 1-2in. 6-line wrasse
- 2-3in. bi-color blenny
- Cleaner Shrimp
- 3x Hermit Crabs
- bUBBLE tIPPED aNENOME
- pURPLE COLOR ANENOME

Yellow Tang?!

 

[True Blue]

Yeah, Yellow Tang (or any Tang for that matter) is Definitely Not good for a Nano.

Flame angel would be fine but a larger tank would be a better. Definitely no on the yellow tang or any tang. Most tangs really need 120+ gal.

Why no to the Yellow Tang? Trade for Flame Angel?

I'm brand new to saltwater fish. I'm getting the clear message that Yellow Tang is not my best choice for this tank. Why is that? Does the Yellow Tang grow too big?

Does anyone within reasonable distance of San Clemente want to trade a 2-3" Yellow Tang for a Flame Angel? :evil:

Tangs require a lot of space to swim (at least 4 ft.)
When they can't swim freely, they get stressed out.
When they get stressed out, they bring down the health in your whole tank.
Good luck trying to find someone to trade with...
