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

    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.
