I did not qt the fish, but he was in a cupramine treated tank. Not sure if you would consider that quarantine. Unfortunately I am not "allowed" any other tanks, this includes qt tanks. This is the last fish I plan to add to my system and hope I can get him to eat prepared foods such as LRS or other.

He seems pretty healthy and active from what little I have seen of him. I am not 100% that the copper was maintained at therapeutic levels or not either. But then again I don't know alot about copper treatment. He is gorgeous though. I had a choice between him and the black leopard wrasse which is very pretty as well.

Sorry Greenstreet,I thought you were making a joke about the odd coloration the picture had. I did TTM on mine and he did great.

Yea it did come out a little darkish saturated. These lights do crazy things to my little camera especially when it starts to ramp down. Looks a lot better in person. ;)

Black leopards are very underrated IMO I have one waiting to go in the wrasse tank.

Most of the time I only use prazi but every now and then I may have a tang or angel in qt then I will also treat with copper cause I don't trust Angels and tangs when it come to ich.

I just got in three Angels for a good friend on Sunday two swallow tail and a juv blue face and I must say these are the first Angels that I ever got in eating and looking healthy from day one but I still dosed copper

I really don't like you very much! ;)

They remind me of a marine beta but I think they are prettier and not nearly as reclusive!

Nice potters Paul, where did you get him? My lfs had an ornate leopard for 35 eating frozen, needless to say he is in my tank now. He was very active and eating upon release, never seen a leopard this active.
