Coral Beauty or Flame Angel

Y

I currently have both.....if I had to chose which one I would keep it would be the flame (my coral beauty is more aggressive than the flame)

Temperaments vary fish by fish though. I have seen flames that were the nastiest thing in their tank so it totally depends on the individual fish.

Here is the coral beauty I have.

The potter is nice but i think the flame would attract alot of peoples attentions.

Why not go for the best of both worlds and get a Clarion Angel? They sort of resemble a cross between the two . . . of course they're a little hard to find and range in price from $2500 to $3500. I think a school of them would look great in your tank, though!

Absolutely Fish has a Clarion for $3499 if you wanted to grab one before the weekend. African flame backs are nice also if you wanted to cheap out. ;D

I have had both, would also recommend the flame. Coral beauty is more aggressive and I like the coloring of the flame. We have also had a pygmy angel and currently have a flameback. The flamback is doing very well but I have been told they can get a nasty attitude problem when the grow up.

Here is my favorite dwarf angel for looks. However if you can find one they go for around $10k

Not a big fan of the adult coloring of the Clarion:

ive had both and their both nice looking but would choose the flame over the coral beauty any day. depending on how big your tank is you could do both.
