Majestic Angel or Emperor Angel

RIPTANK · #1 04-06-2010, 07:46 PM

The majestic is a very shy fish and the emperor is still quite small. I don't see any reason why you can't keep'em both because you are getting the 125 gal tank soon so there will be plenty of space. I would just caution on getting any LPS corals like hammers, torches and brains 'cause the emperor is likely to nip on them. The majestic is a really sweet angel and minds it's own business but tends to get picked on by other fish. Why don't you keep'em both and then sell the emperor for a higher price down the road when he's adult size. A full grown healthy emperor can fetch between $150-$300.

Anyways, they're both very hardy fish but like tangs, they're just as capable of catching ick so be sure to have a good filter system.

BTW: thanks Jenn for lightening up my load of live rocks. It was really nice to meet you and your hubby. Man, that was a really kick ass truck!

Ha Ha no THANK YOU my lil 33gal looks so nice now with all that rock, and my fish are ALOT happier now! By the way thank you for that comment on my truck, I'll be sure to tell the hubby that one as he is always bugging me for owning a dodge lol he drives a nice little FJ, but I like my truck it could run his over he he. It was really nice meeting you and thank you for the great advice.

I dunno about selling large angels.... by the time they grow that large i'd imagine you'd be attached to them emotionally

I have both, I've had my emperor for just over a year and my Majestic for just over 2 weeks. The Emperor is more hardy, but they are so beautiful and I've always wanted both so my vote would be to keep them! I have a lot softies but my angels mostly pick at the rocks, all my softies are growing nicely, hope that helps a little.

Please don't consider an angel for your tank.
There are recent articles published in reefkeeping.com where experts advise that these fish require tanks in excess of 300gals.
