Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've got a book, The Lynxoreef handbook by CR Brightwell, and I was browsing through it the other day.

The back section has some nano set-up "templates" and the one for a 10g tank caught my eye - the fish stocking suggestion is: Brazillkento4 Flameback Angelfish, Black Cap Gramma, and Rainfords Goby.

I've always thought that Brazillkento4 Flameback Angelfish needed a bigger tank, despite being small, as they're supposed to be territorial, super active, and stress-prone. I've never considered one for my 11g tank, but now I'm curious - has anyone here kept one in a 10g-ish nano tank before, and how did it turn out?

I'd advise against it, dwarf angels do require a decent amount of space to move around, especially when it comes to rock work - they love darting in and out of crevices.

I agree, it doesn't seem right. The thought of the fish constantly pacing back and forth in such a small space doesn't sit well with me. I can just imagine the stress it would cause.
