anyone own any large angels??emperors, Queen... pics too ;)
 
Just got this little emperor over the weekend. So I'm learning as I go. From my research I've learned that larger angels do fairly well in communities.

beautiful fish, yeah I've heard they do well in angel only tanks too but i guess it depends the fish itself, thanks
 
anyone got large angels, pics would be great
 
is it true that six bars can reach 18 inch ?? what size do most large angels reach in captivity compared to their wild relitives
 
Large angels do well in FOWLR community tanks. They are definitely territorial toward other lg angels, and as they get more established, territorial toward other deep bodied fish added after them.

I haven't seen an 18" sixbar, the biggest I've seen was more pike 15", which is still pretty big.

Thanks, yeah i have no other angels at the moment but might add some in the future after the six bar, thanks :)
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

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