How long have you had him for? How big is he? I’m thinking of getting a captive bred one as well

The larger Conspic was born in April 2017 and with me since December 2017. These were from the first batch. This Conspic is approximately 4+ inches now. If you are seriously considering one, Poma Labs is fantastic. Dr, Matt is one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with.

Nice. No issues at all with them? What size tank do you have them in? I’ve actually chatting with Dr Matt and he’s been amazing. I’m hoping in the spring to get one from him. I have a 205 gallon that I need to get plumbed and up and running in the next couple weeks.

Zero issues. They were eating everything from day one. The pair is currently in an Elos 160XL (approximately 200 gallons). His fish are clean and healthy.

Perfect. Do you have other fish with it? I was thinking of Scribbled and maybe a gold flake or false personifier to go with it and maybe 3 tangs ( yellow, blue hippo and Achilles). Maybe 2 dwarfs as well. Thoughts?

This is my yellow cubicus daisy she is the biggest sweetheart she will also never stop eating we train her to spit water when she wants pellets or flakes and for dinner it’s brine shrimp . The hardest thing for her was moving her to her newest 120g tank I was afraid she was gonna nuke she is 100% reef safe and will eat even flakes.

How are the Interuptus angel? I’m thinking about getting one. Were they pretty easy to acclimatize and get eating?

The first one I got was already an adult and had no problems with him eating and adjusting. The female I got as a juvi, but had no problems with it either. Just had to use a cheese grater to grate the frozen food (LRS) small enough. The male is mean and chases after everyone in the tank,except his little female. I am seeing the female starting to harass the other fish too.

Oh. Good to know. Did the male always do that or did he become aggressive after you added the female? I would love to get one however i’m also looking at a Conspic angel. So I would love for the tank to be the lease stressful as possible. I do understand that there will be a little bit as they fight for heriechy in the tank though. Would you recommend one? Any other advice that you can give me? I have a 205 gallon tank that i’m In the middle of setting up

He was aggressive even before adding the female. He was in tank for almost 2 years before I got a juvi female. However, he never bothers my Flagfin/Goldflake hybrid. (OH, I guess i have another rare fish to add.) Maybe that is because he is already an adult. And they are about the same size. Interruptus are beautiful fish and I would never get rid of mine. I would suggest putting an Interruptus in last and a smaller one if you decide to add one. But as I'm sure you know, that is still not guarantee it will work.

Ok thanks. I’m thinking of a Scribbled and conspicuous as my big angels. I’m trying to decide between the interuptus, jonculator, bellus and a couple others as my two - three choices for the dwarf angels

I forgot about my Flagfin/Goldflake Hybird. He has changed in color from when I first got him. I have now learned that it is a common thing for them to do. You can see the slight blue edge on his anal fin. And a shadow of black on the dorsal fin.

In the bag when I got him.

This is him today in my tank.

Even though they are classified as a "dwarf angel", they are actually pretty large. Mine a good 6 inches long.
