Multibar Angel

[Dr. Reef Verified Sponsor]

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.

Multibar out in the open:

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

was it from Biota or ora? and dr reef was just the seller?
biota always say theirs were raised on pellets.

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.

I will try to get some pictures later this evening when feeding. They hide quite well in a 75 gallon haha

Let the little guy out yesterday. He’s eating TDO pellets pretty good and grazing like crazy. Was able to catch the six line and everyone seems happy and content. My only concern is him getting spooked into one of the haddonis or gigs. There’s several large anemones and that’s always my concern with new small fish.

Hey I sent you a PM, but what’re the size ranges you’re able to procure? Can you get ones in the 3-4” range?

Unfortunately the little guy didn’t make it. He ate some TDO yesterday but none this morning and really only ever grazed. Found him dead in the corner this afternoon. I think a larger specimen would just do better.

Sorry to hear that. Yes in wild caught we can fill that size easily.
Please pm me your order # so I can create another order free of cost to you

I’m a little confused. If you bought a captive bred multibar why are they sending you a wild caught multibar as a replacement? Wouldn’t they just send you one of there larger captive bred multibars?

it would have to be in someones tank for atleast 1-1.5 yrs before it will be on the smaller end of medium.
OP wants a larger one and his fish that died was not under guarantee or anything. So we are trying to be nice and fill whatever size he wants and hes aware it wont be captive. Hope that answeres the question.

How did you guys get multibar to start eating? I tried TDO pellets, mysis and fish eggs but have not witnessed it eat anything with my presence. I always drop some food at the bottom of the acclimation box and leave, and find almost all the food gone by the time I'm back. But I'm not sure if the little fish eat them or he just pushed all the food out of the acclimation box. It's been 4 days since this fish arrive.

Mine would eat NOTHING but love hatched baby brine. I fed them love baby brine for around a month. Get hatching quick. They might take frozen but might not. Slowly mix in frozen and small pellet after a week or so. Do not assume it will star eating and hope for the best start hatching bbs now. These fish are tiny and just eat a lot. I fed small amounts of bbs adding 3 to 4 times a day.

 

[RobertK]

You could try frozen baby brine shrimp. Mysis might be a little too big. Mine ate TDO pellets early on, are you using the extra small ones? Is this a captive bred fish?
