Eibli's angelfish

[EZMAC114]

Anyone have an Eibli's angelfish?? My LFS has one and I'm thinking about getting it

I had one for a while until Ich wiped out a lot of my fish a while back. He ended up dieing in the QT :-( He was by far the best dwarf angel I have ever had. Never touched any of my coral or harassed any of my fish. I have tried a couple of different species since (Flame, Bi-Color) and have had nothing but problems with them eating coral.

What food did he like best?

Fortunately he ate everything and anything from day one.....flake, frozen mysis shrimp, algae sheets, etc.

I've got one in my 29g biocube, I love it, it looks great and eats about anything, loves formula 2 flakes,

Unfortunately the eibli I was going to buy died Friday at the LFS. I went in yesterday to pick it up and I thought they sold it bc I didn't see it in the tank and they said they called and told me but I never got a call. The owner said that the fish got real big...I'm guessing it's stomach was what he was talking about. I'm glad I didn't have him die on me but I really wanted that one bc I was told that he was big for one in captivity

That's too bad.....most fish stores will special order fish for you if you really want one. You could also purchase one online. Good luck.

They said they would be getting another one soon
