compatibility question
hey all, I know that you shouldn't house large andels with sharks or rays because they can nip at them and cause problems. I was wondering if the same applied to dwarf angels (i.e., flame angel or coral beauty)?

I'm sure the dwarves would be eaten.
Triggers, puffers, and other agressive fish should work along side the shark.

What about an Eel? Would that work with a shark.

We really need to know what kind of shark we're looking at. different ones will react different ways. are we talking a nurse shark or a black tip reef shark? how big is the tank? even the small sharks will get 3+ feet long.

Brown Banded bamboo. But I was really just curious about the dwarf angels picking at the shark. I have read not to house them with triggers or puffers.
