I've heard of a lot of aggression from them with other "conspecifics", meaning, like tangs, they will generally fight with anything having a similar body shape. Most angels look completely different as adults, so definitely keep that in mind.

I currently have a red sea sailfin,niger,blonde naso and a foxface n a 120 high. Theres lots of swimming room. I'm just looking for others thoughts on these guys.

I have an Emperor. Got it when it was about 1-1/2". Now about 4". So far, he's behaved himself.

[tattoosmitty]

when do they start getting their stripes?

My Emperator/Imp. took one year to go from juvy to adult, and his growth continues to amaze me. The fish food that is on the market today is great for keeping Angels. If your 120 high is only 4' long I would recommend a small juvy with the knowledge of having to sell/trade him when he gets to be an adult.
