Passer or Blue Ring angel

[bigcapct]

Which angel would be better to add? A 4 inch passer angel or a blue ring? I have a chance to buy either one but wanted to know which would be hardier/less aggressive ? Thanks for the help

A Passer Angel is very aggressive, especially as it gets larger. One the other hand the Passer doesn't get as large as the Blue Ring, and for that matter most of the Larger Angels. The question is what size tank will it be going into and what other fish do you plan on keeping the Angel with? If it very aggressive fish, like Grouper, Trigger and such then a Passer will probably have a better chance of holding its own with them. As for which is more hardy, well both are fairly hardy but I would say the Passer is more hardy of the two. You'll also find the Passer has more personality, as it will be out front and even flollowyou around.

I would be adding a couple small Klein butterfly's also , I had a large blue face with these fish also. But unfortunately not anymore due to a lil accident

Because of the size of the tank I would go with the Passer. It will be able to hang with your other fish, and it's still a Sub-adult, so it should be a problem. I would worry about adding the Kleni BF with the fish that you have, as other fish don't seem to like them, and the groupers may try and eat them.

My groupers are very passive. Unless they can eat em. Lol. But the butterflys are 2-3 inches big

I'll prob go with the passer then. Plus it's cheaper.

Passer Angel is one of my favor fish, have a couple myself, but they're aren't cheap. I would think that unless you're getting a very large Blue Ring Angel the price wouldn't be that much of a differences.

149 for this exact passer and 189 for blue ring. Between 2.5-4 inches
