I have a 40 gallon breeder tank and I want to get one of these. Currently running a fluval 307/no protein skimmer with a Bluefin Damsel and a Royal Gramma Basslet.
How did he/she do with corals? also do they hide by rocks or open swimmer! Aggressiveness as well Please. I really want one! so Cute! I saw some drawf angel like the lemon peel you tube swimming all over but seems like this and some others stay by the rocks!
Hey Brock! As you can see from my profile I have a Tomini Tang. Would it be ok to add the Pygmy with him or would it be bad considering they both borrow in the rock caves and eat algae
Bear in mind that there's a similar looking species that has orange instead of yellow markings ... Centropyge acanthops, the Purple Fireball Angelfish. Be VERY careful not to buy the Purple Fireball unless you INTEND to, as it's one of the most aggressive of all the Centropyge angels, much more so than the yellow Cherubfish. You CERTAINLY cannot mix a Cherubfish with a Purple Fireball, because the Purple Fireball will kill the Cherubfish in short order, and indeed, a Purple Fireball pretty much rules out anything other than feisty, rough and tumble tankmates. On the other hand, if you're careful about the order of introduction, the Cherubfish will live compatibly with a wider range of other fish, but I emphasise that you need to exercise care with the order of introduction. Settle the less aggressive species in the aquarium for a MINIMUM of 3 months before introducing the Cherubfish, and ensure there's a surplus of hiding places for all the fish. I would err on the side of caution with this one, and wait until you can give it 75 gallons to live in, which should also reduce the chances of aggression manifesting itself. As for the related Purple Fireball ... it's a beauty, but if you intend to take that one on, be prepared for fireworks. It's a mini berserker in the wrong setup.

I have a super similar fish collection with a Royale Gramma, 2 clownfish, the cherub angelfish, a cardinal fish and an orchid dottyback. They all seem to do well together and haven’t seen aggression at all. Should go good 😅
Point to remember about Centropyge angels ... if you plan on having more than one species, it's best to choose pairings that exhibit similar levels of territorial aggression. To improve your chances of success, introduce the angels during "lights out", and give them 8 hours of dark acclimatisation to help them integrate once daylight arrives. If memory serves, Flame angels are "midrange" aggression wise, and there's several species of exhibiting a similar level of aggression that will mix if you're careful with introduction, and have the space for each to claim its own little piece of home. One species I would caution STRONGLY against is a close relative of the Cherubfish, but which has orange instead of yellow. This is Centropyge acanthops, the Purple Fireball angel. This one is a mini berserker in the wrong setup, and will NOT live alongside another Centropyge angel in the typical home aquarium. This one is probably the most aggressive of the Centropyge angels, and should be kept with tankmates able to look after themselves. Avoid this one unless you know what you're doing, because its small size and intense colour make it tempting to the unwary. By the way, if you're looking for a dwarf angel with a difference, and don't mind both the cost and the difficulty of finding the species, Centropyge resplendens is a social species you can actually keep in a group in the aquarium. But since it's only known from Ascension Island (a military base you need government permission to visit), finding this species will be HARD, and you'll pay a small fortune for any you do find.
Hello I need help...... my boyfriend had two fish in his reef tank one clownfish and one angelfish but then I was getting in to the saltwater hobby we added another clownfish, a mandarin and two bangaii cardinals but the angelfish would always chace them around and I asked my boyfriend to get rid of her and swap but he wants to keep her because she is not easy to chace to put in the net so I was just wondering if there is anything to stop her bullying everyone however we also got a lawnmower blenny but she gets on fine with him ps... I enjoy your videos :)
Yeah it seems your angel has gotten territorial over the tank and now with new fish showing up, she wants to protect her yard😂 make sure you’re feeding them plenty, a full belly fish is a happy fish. Putting them in a net for time out sometimes works but it can be hard to catch them.
I recommend taking him back just cause the fighting won’t stop. Usually when clownfish are added first to the tank they get used to their space and get super territorial.

Thanks Brock just bought one 👍
Great video, I just got one of these awesome lil dudes about 2 weeks ago, absolutely love em
NICE! Thanks for watching.

I think they would do well together!
Can you keep one in a 32gallon bio cube with 2 clown fish, 1 royal gamma and 1 yellow clown goby?

Cool little fish.
I have a 25 gallon with one dwarf angel and two clowns .I put the angel in last and he stays around the bottom
It's been 6 months and they get along 🙂
Good, but you should deffo upgrade eventually.

How long do these fish typically live? Can they push 10+ years?
Hey Brock, i got a 30 gallon tank, can i add a royal gramma and a cherub angelfish?? I have a watchman goby and 2 clown fish already

Spoiler:When they get startled,a few minutes later,they will square up with what startled them.
Love this🤣
Could it go with a Flame Angel in a 75 gallon with plenty of live rock?
definitely worth a shot! Adding them at the same time is best to avoid aggression. Just depends on how territorial the Flame is.

Im from Martinique and I know a spot with a lot of Cherub fish, he is my fav fish!
No way!!! I gotta come visit
Could i add one to a 50X40X40cm 20 gallon with a baby ocellaris pair?
With enough live rock, you might be able to get away with it. Just watch your water levels, you do not want it to spike.

Lady Creep try the mirror trick, it sometimes works

Mine was just added to my tank and has small white dots on him but he doesn't seem bothered by it, what should I do ? should I intervine
Monitor it to make sure it does not get worse. Cold be an early sign of ich.
How much do they cost in total (tank,food,other)
Orangey885 Food packs and algae will run you about $15-$20 extra
Thanks
Do cherub Angelfish need pods?
Most get accustomed to eating frozen foods like mysis and spirulina. However a live food like that is great for first introducing them to the tank.
Hey I added one in my biocube 32 and my clowns tore him up how can I prevent this from happening?
In a tank that small, the clowns are going to be very territorial.
I recommend taking him back just cause the fighting won’t stop. Usually when clownfish are added first to the tank they get used to their space and get super territorial.
What’s kind of goby is that?
Yellow head sleeper!

And what is the other white fish with him
Orangey885 Sleeper Goby!
Brock Leonard thanks
