Pics, or it never happened!

Is it okay if I upload a bunch of beautiful Angelfish pictures, some are mine others I have taken at LFS. Or are you only supposed to upload your own fish?

 

[dyno]

They’ve paired up? Lol. Any spawning behavior? How long you have had them both and how big are they?

lol

I would think as long as ur not advertising for them it would be ok

Beautiful fish

I have a juvenile emperor that has now transitioned into adult colors. Grown pretty fast too. Also have 3 dwarf angels... Flame, Bicolor, and Coral Beauty. I just bought 2 more beautiful Angels over the weekend. Currently in qurantine. A BlueFace Angel already in adult colors and a Scribbled Angel (female, hopefully it changes into male someday).

Awesome combination! We need photos

I will once they leave qurantine. They're in a plastic tote so it's not that clear to get good photos. I'll post a video once they go into main display in about 2 weeks.

In China I can readily get captive Bred Majestic and Goldflake Angels. For dwarfs, Colin’s (are they actually Centropyge?) and hybrid Lemonpeel x Half Blacks seem to be the most common ones. We get these from Bali Aquarich. Clarions are also captive Bred with some regularity.

The less common ones that I really want are the CB Blue Lines and CB Multibars.

It’s honestly a big baffling to me why Bali Aquarich hasn’t Bred Coral Beauties and Flames now that they’ve Bred a variety of less common / harder to keep dwarf angels. I know Biota and ORA do Coral Beauties and I’m sure some places do Flames but none of them ship to Asia.

Scribbled Angels from Bali were common last year but I haven’t seen them in a while and they get a bit too large for me. Maybe Su is trying to raise eggs from a new batch?

I’ve seen CB Bicolors recently but not sure from Bali Aquarich or not. If not it’s likely they’re being bred somewhere in Taiwan, in aquaculture facilities the average Western hobbyist (and me for that matter, as a “half” Western hobbyist) doesn’t know about.

Joculators have also been Bred in captivity by Su, as well as his recent Aurantia breakthrough but I have not once seen any of his specimens for sale.

Here’s to hoping CB Regals (and please let them be the Gold Belly / Indian Ocean variety) will be widely available in the not too distant future.

Su made a breakthrough in the Harlequin Tusk last year and I’ve seen specimens on a few occasions. Think it’s the Aussie variety from pics.

If Poma Labs ever shipped to my part of the world I’d grab their CB Singapore and Blue Line Angels in a heartbeat.

I think angels should be targeted as one of the big future trends in aquaculture. There’s so much potential but Lord forbid I don’t want to see bastardized variants of what nature created (I’m looking at you, Clownfish breeders).

Naked Regal Angel, anyone? How about a Long Fin Conspic? Sign me up!

Please send pics and videos soon.

Is your Emperor an Aussie one?

 

[Zionas]

To give you guys an idea of some prices, CB Colin’s in my place cost about 240-250 bucks each. For the price of a pair, I can barely afford a wild caught Joculator in the States.

 

[terraincognita]

Scanned through 6 months of photos, i swore i had one of my golden angel. Guess i'll have to get one tomorrow

 

[Squidward]

Please send pics and videos soon.

Is your Emperor an Aussie one?

No I doubt it. Most likely phillipines or indonesia.

 

[Zionas]

Hope it does well for you. Do you have trouble with many fish from those countries?

 

[MONTANTK]

Anyone have any idea how to get a captive bred Venustus? Preferably as small as possible

 

[Zionas]

If you go on Biota they have them though I think the actual stock is imported from Bali Aquarich.
Other than that I guess you’ll have to find stores that carry stuff from Bali Aquarich.

Hi all angel lovers, can someone help me ID this captive bred Chaetodontoplus angel? It’s from a Taiwanese seller and I presume from Bali Aquarich. The description says Maze x Caruleopunctatus (?) but since this genus loves to mingle between species I’m not sure.
Furthermore do any of you own a “Phantom” Angel from Poma Labs? Is it a naturally occurring hybrid?

 

[Tcook]

Moved my Watanabe into the DT today. Getting along great with the bellus. They cruise around as a pair.

 

[Zionas]

OK I figured out what the hybrid Angelfish is. It’s the “Blue Phantom” from Bali Aquarich, Maze x Black Phantom (Chaetodontoplus sp.). Is it naturally occuring?
