How big is the tank? I've always found the both of the stunning but would have to pick the flame, if I could only have one. I have kept both & a cherub all together in a 90g. I'll never trust any of them with a coral though.

A vibrantly colored coral beauty is stunning, and I find them more appealing than a flame. Have you thought about a lemon peel? Also a good angelfish.

Well Ive decided Im getting both ! Done my research and everything says get them at the same time to prevent aggression. I will be waiting till I come back from my vacation which I will be taking in January( Arizona baby)! And since it will be a decent size fish purchase , $80 at my LFS ( Oceans Below) . Im definatly gonna wait till the first of the year.
