I've had my aquarium for about 6 months now, its a 45-50g aquarium which is a FOWLR set up. The inhabitants include a pair of false clowns, a canary wrasse, scooter blenny (fat off of brine shrimp), a brown clown goby, and a green spotted puffer. Poor puffer, his growth is stunted from his previous 10g tank so he's just a bit bigger than the female clown. I reaaaaaaally want a dwarf angelfish (cherub preferably) and want to make sure I'm not pushing the limits of my tank.
However! I do have a really wonderful skimmer (gets full after 3 days), a biowheel filter, and a homemade sump in the works for all those lovely pods and added filtration. I wish I just had $100k to dedicate to fish, however... life sucks! Doesn't work that way. I'm pretty sure a Dwarf Angel would be fine, if I got one thats roughly 2" max. Opinions? I'm stricken with "I WANT ALL OF THEM" sickness, I suppose!

Believe me I know how you feel, I want them all as well!
My first question would be, how much live rock do you have? The Cherub or Atlantic Pygmy Angelfish need live rock to survive. They will NOT live long if you do not have live rock in your aquarium and usually do not survive in fish-only aquariums. This is commonly due to specialized diet requirements that reef aquaria provide, in the way of naturally occurring micro-crustacean populations, but in some cases, may simply be due to the more complete natural ecosystem found in reef tanks. If your tank is matured andhave live rock, go for it everything should be fine.

THAT, sir, is a "hall of recognition" question and undertaking, for one by no potential knows what could or won't be deleted! As presently as 8 months in the past, the purest of intentionally disgusting grime replaced into each and every so often published w/o result. on the different hand, completely valid Qs are reported by using the loser w/ not something yet time and a YooHoo in his palms!

You are ok with a good, well maintained filter system go for it and get the angel. Puffer will catch up as long as filter is working and you do partial water changes regularly.

i would think it would be fine. but after that you might not want to stock anymore fish. and be sure to feed it a diet with algae/seaweed, etc. i use formula 2 for my coral beauty angel, along with krill, mysis, prime reef, cyclopeeze all dosed with selcon.
