So I have raised many trigger babies over the last 30 years; some were with me over 10 years, some went to larger aquariums around town. For the most part my experience doesn't line up with what I read online. They grow much slower and their real aggression usually doesn't show up for a few years.

So I'm interested in raising a king and queen angel, I can get them just under 2". Has anyone had experience with these fish at this size. I do not power feed my fish, when the babies come in I feed a couple of times a day until I see a nice fat belly. Once they establish a good girth, I feed them once a day. So any info on growth rate and aggression would be greatly appreciated. I would probably place them in a very large aquarium in a few years. Thanks
 
Nevermind, got some good information and decided it wouldn't be a good idea.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
