My tangs are outnumbering the angels so need to stock up more angels in a few months…

How do your angles do with the coral?

How do your angles do with the coral?

Actually - I love angels more than corals so I select corals that won’t get killed. So far
hammers, torches, gonis, mushrooms, and SPS are ok.

SPS: no PE whatsoever during the day but ok at night. Smooth skin SPS and stags do fairly well.

Zoas, chalices, acans, and blastos are like candies to them! Oh btw: angels love aiptasias so can’t complain. ;)

Looking for everybody opinion.
This is my Mis-bar Regal from @Biota_Marine.
What do you Angel lovers think, Yellow or Blue cheat Regal? Or is she a hybrid of the two?

I’d say she’s a hybrid of the two, I believe the parents used to create the captives are hybrids between the blue and yellow bellies but present the yellow belly trait.

I’d say looking at yours, the blue belly (sub sp. diacanthus) trait is more dominant rather than the yellow belly trait (sub sp. flavescens)

If the broodstock is from Bali’s waters what are the chances grey and yellow chest are both found there and mix with one another?

Your guess is as good as mine. Blue chest and yellow chest look the same as juveniles. Only when the get to about 1.5 inches or so when the blue and black color come in, they start to differentiate. It seems to me from experiences of keeping both sub-species from young, the blue chest sub-species the black and blue continue to widen and the portion of the skin that is blue and black are more in the blue chested. Overall, the blue chested Regals are darker, with more skin area that is blue and black, less skin area that is yellow than the yellow chested Regals.

Healthy fish in a optimal setting will overcome most (not all) diseases. We don't have to treat every disease a fish got, especially the injury and communicable disease the catch in a stressful transfer 1/2 way around the world. A natural system, that is thriving with fauna and flora (like the system run by myself and @Paul B, and others) will help the fish immune system and heal them. The fauna will eliminate Ich. For example, I can add a fish full of Ich in my tank and it just frizzle out.
My PBT emaciated and full of Ich, and picture of the same one 1 year later with no treatment, added directly to my DT.

What do you feed ur fish? nori soaked in Trenbolone?

I have a harem of three Flameback Angels in a 70 gallon. However I would like to add two or three more small Flamebacks. I have a social acclimation box. What's the best way to do this? See picture.

I'm blown away by the speed at which my Majestic is transitioning from juvenile to adult colors.

You can just add. But a 70 gal is kinda small for 5-6 flameback. My 65 was too small for my three fish harem.

@OrionN the dwarf angels are my favorite Genus of fish. I'm really pleased with my Flamebacks. The three of them are CB so they are much more comfortable in my tank than any wild caught fish. Orion is your 65 a 4 foot tank or a 3 foot tank?

 

[X-37B]

I have a flame back in my nem system. Nice fish.
I had 2 swallowtail Angels in my 60×30×21 but the larger became very aggressive and I rehomed the smaller one.

It was a 3 foot tank. 3X1.5X2 foot

 

[Flameback Pair]

Mine is a 4 foot tank too. I had them in a 23 gallon tank for awhile. They bickered some in the little tank but much less bickering in the bigger tank. A lot that helped them get along is numerous caves I put in aquacultured rock.

This is why I was going to try get a captive bred initially, but I found a proper orange adult and she is my favourite fish currently.
The 4 angels I have are the true showpieces of my wrasse tank until my foxface & rabbitfish outgrow them.
