Most of the fish are size small.

Also, if a coral beauty was added at the same time as the flame angel both times, how is it that you only have one? Did you remove and then re-add the same one?

Yes I removed the first one that nipped my corals. Then I added the second one along with the second flame.

Hate when this happens As I said earlier, IMO the fish didn't die due to stocking, I'd probably just say bad luck.

I guess where I'm coming from is my experience with 2 current tanks I had 5 tangs in my 125 ish tank 6 feet by 18" by 28" not sure of exact size plus 10ish small fish All fish super happy for 2-3 years year 4-5 tangs start fighting during that time I started up a 117 gallon frag tank 6 feet long 12" deep split up tangs they still were not super happy in the end my 6" red sailfin stressed out my Achilles I had for over 3 years stopped eating got ich died 100% all my fault I learned from it. I hate getting into arguments about amounts of fish in tanks there is no right answer I'm sure in reality 95% of tanks are small but work in the big picture tangs grow if you keep them healthy they outgrow most tanks. Currently I have the rs sailfin and chevron in display tank doing good together ,frag tank has naso and 5 year old emporer angel reel safe so far.

Yeah I guess so. No more flame angels for me. Many of my fish I've had for over 2 years. 5 of them I've had for over 5 years. Most of the remainder are close to a year now.
