Min Tank Size for a Majestic Angel

[MazdaSPD3]

What is your tank on one of these beauties?

[Untamed12]

Well....mine is in a 400 gallon.

My experience so far with this fish is that it grows very slowly compared to many others I have. You are likely to be able to keep one in a much smaller tank for quite a while. (far different than a Naso, for example)

Now...it is possible that I have had success with this fish simply because it doesn't feel contained in the 400. That is something to consider.

Hrm...question should have read, "What is your take on one of these beauties?"

Anyhow, thanks for the input Untamed, how big is your Majestic?

[Untamed12]

Not quite 3"...and I've had him for almost 2 years.

Ou...looks like someone has been taking bites at his fins, I've read they can be very passive.

I have one in my 180. Very personable fish, not the hardiest at first. Mine is definitely a bully, and I have read that they become very pugnacious as they age. Slow growers for sure. I got mine from DD about a year and a half ago, top notch specimen and did really well.

I love large angles. Maybe some day if I have a big enough tank and find the right one. I bet they produce alot of poo!!

Don't worry. He's fine. I think that photo was when he first arrived. Nobody bothers him since he outgrew the bicolour angel.

Thats great. I wonder if my 150 can house one for a few years.

Great fish. I have one in a mixed reef tank. Hes around 3.5" now.
