Angelfish Lifespan Survey

[Zionas]

For all of you who keep angels, I would like to know how long you’ve had yours.

1. What species?
2. How long have you had them?
3. Size at purchase?
4. Current size?
5. Any issues? (Aggression, feeding, disease, coral eating / picking)
6. What are your tank specs? (Dimensions and size)

They’re my favorite fish so would love to hear different people’s experiences with them.

1. Midnight, coral beauty, emperor, lamarck.
2. Almost 2.5 years for the dwarf angels, about a year for the emperor and not sure about the lamarck (was acquired as a consignment when already an adult - but my guess is 4-5 years).
3. All small (<1.5") with the exception of the lamarck, which was around 4-4.5").
4. 3", 3", 5-6" and 5" (best guess).
5. The midnight eats acans and the emperor picks off pest zoas and palys. Otherwisen they're model citizens.
6. Red Sea 750XXL, 200 gallons (72" x 23.5" x 23").
