Just got this little emperor over the weekend. So I'm learning as I go. From my research I've learned that larger angels do fairly well in communities.

is it true that six bars can reach 18 inch ?? what size do most large angels reach in captivity compared to their wild relitives

Large angels do well in FOWLR community tanks. They are definitely territorial toward other lg angels, and as they get more established, territorial toward other deep bodied fish added after them.

I haven't seen an 18" sixbar, the biggest I've seen was more pike 15", which is still pretty big.

Thanks, yeah i have no other angels at the moment but might add some in the future after the six bar, thanks :)
