Oh no worries at all this was certainly not a you issue. I just totally missed the description. This was my first CB fish so learning experience for me! But so far he’s been doing good. Slowly started bubbling on TDO extra small pellets.
I am glad its doing well. Again if for any reason things go south. Let us know we will replace it with a larger sized wild caught one.

The Multibar has been in my tank drunken week now. The Falco Hawkfish doesn’t chase the Multibar much anymore so the tank is back to its peaceful state again. The Multibar is can now be found cruising the rockwork on the right third of the tank. It seems to pick at the rock most of the day. I am not sure if the Multibar feeds much on the frozen food or pellets fed at different times of day. The belly area looks normal but I will continue to monitor.

This gives me hope that mine will do fine in the main tank. I just need to catch the six line first. He’s bullying all the new additions. He chased the candy hog right into my gigantea when I released him. He was equally as mean to the royal gramma, but I was able to snag the Royal Gramma and stick him back in the acclimation box.

My Multibar has been out in the tank for 10 days now. It is out exploring and picking the rocks pretty much all day. There is occasional chasing by my Falco Hawkfish but it is rare/sporadic and the Multibar is out again a few seconds later. The Multibar still does not venture out of the rock structure on the right third of my tank. My two captive bred Mandarins were similar: They stayed in one rock structure for months. Now I see them roaming all over the tank.

I released my golden into the DT from the acclimation box and all 3 CB angels (whom I also got from dr reef) are doing well. The regal and majestic are best friends and swim around together which is hilarious. They’ve been in there 3 weeks now. The golden has been in the acclimation box a week now and today’s his first day free with the others. They regal and majestic both just want live baby brine. The golden just wants tdo b2 pellets. Originally the regal and majestic only ate pellets in the acclimation box before refusing to eat them once they were free which I thought was weird. They pick at rocks all day. These are the only 3 fish in my 75 gal grow out tank. Wish I got a multi bar too now… haha

These angels are all from Bali aquarich. Dr reef and biota are the distributors.
I believe it was from Biota and purchased through Dr Reef. Not 100% sure though. I think we’ve already established that I didn’t read the fine print 🤣. All I know is it’s captive bred and quarantined.
