Well I bought a few, but havent had luck keeping them in the long run. so can anyone share there experience with this dwarf angel? The rusty looks like a awsome fish but I would like to understand it a little better and how come mines died so easily. Please share your experiences Thanks.

They are easy to keep just like a Coral Beauty or a Flame Angel. Perhaps you got a bad fish that was on its way out. When you go to buy the next one, ask the store to feed it and visually inspect for any parasites/diseases. If all is good and it's eating well, then quarantine it for at least 2 weeks in a seperate tank. These are some of the basic guidelines that people follow when purchasing saltwater fish.

P.S. They need AT LEAST a 40G, sometimes bigger.

I have a 50g, I bought two and recently they both died. I guess I got 2 bad picks.

Sometimes they fight, but not always. Two dwarf angels in a small tank usually do.
