The Angel Lovers Thread

[Haydn]

In a previous incarnation of my tank this was my pair of Regal Angels

I sadly lost the smaller one after 5 years. The large one I had in my tank for 12 years

Tiny baby regal in my QT tank. The clowns, much bigger, acts as dither fish to get the regal to eat. That female clown is farther away from the cameras, and still looks bigger than the angel. This particular angel was about 1.25 inch.

How did you get it eating?

Thanks

Anybody feed their angels Panta Rhei sponge pellets? Just ordered two packs of it to try out from Unique Corals.

Mine really loves flakes and pellets. From the beginning they prefer flakes over frozen. I keep them by themselves first, get them to eat well before add them to DT.
If they are eating just give them what they want but make sure you offer them flakes. Often reefer go for these esoteric and expensive food when a good flake will do as main food.

I will definitely get some decent flake food based on that recommendation.

I tried angel formula and it did eat a bit but today I feed mysis and wouldn’t you know it, the little guy started eating with some vigor!
Let’s just hope that it keeps it up.
It seems that it’s growing a bit more assertive and bold, out in the open more and yesterday it gave an annoying cleaner shrimp a good whack.

Let’s just hope it keeps on keeping on!

Keep us in the loop man! I've seriously contemplated it on multiple occasions so I'd love to know what you think!

I often keep newly import hard to keep, shy fish (and expensive fish) with small docile fish that are aggressive eaters. Seeing other fish aggressively eat food will stimulate the new fish to eat. This is a successful way for me to get new fish to eat many times. Clowns, the more docile species are perfect for this function.

One more addition...

Awesome! This is my stock in my wall-tank as well, everything except the sweetlips. That orange collar wrasse is neat, mine is not as beautiful yet!

I picked up some flakes yesterday and it worked like a charm!
It’s now plowing down clams, masstick, flakes, mysis and angel formula :)

You could do one Centropyge and one small Genicanthus.

I am so glad that he eats well for you. Pictures?

You can keep a pair of SMALL Centropyge angels in a 75 gal tank. IMO, even the smallest of the Genicanthus, G. watanabei, get too large for a 75.

As am I! He was fairly skinny when I got him so it’s a relief that he’s seemingly doing well.

No real good pics but here’s one when him, my CBB and purple tang are ripping in to a clam.

I have a video of him and the whole tank I’m my tank-thread :)
