I’ve had my 10 inch French for 5+years, not the prettiest angel I have, but certainly a great addition......an adult Grey Angel is as good as it gets imo. Opinions are opinions, but I think both are impressive fish.
care to share a pict?

Actually I bet the fish would stand out in your large tank Ca1ore - although I don't believe they are reef safe. Oh - but I think they get HUGE...

How about a quick lunar video? I’m not a good fish photographer.
Yes I saw that too, I was thinking about ordering it, but too big.As irony would have it, there was a French on DD today.
Whats the reason for the lack of Caribbean intrest?

They get large, some do and some Don't do well in captivity and they are general classed native fish. Many years ago, most every store had French, blue and queen angels. Since then, so many fish are captive bred as well as new discoveries, increase in reef systems VS. Fish only as many had years ago contribute to this.
We go to the carribean annually and always see French and queen angels at minimum
French angels have always been on my list of top ten favorites. Love scuba diving with them and love raising them from little guys to adults ( only takes a few years). But they ARE very large fish and it is a mixed blessing that they are not as popular anymore. Personally I think the minimum size aquarium to keep these beauties well, is 200 gallons. 300 gallons and up better. Here's my current one, raise since the size of a silver dollar. currently the largest fish in my 440 gallon all fish tank. P.S I also think the trend towards micro reefing and mini aquariums is all off a lot of stunning old school species-- again, maybe a good thing from the humanitarian point of view
This reminds me of when I first got stationed in South Korea. I wanted Germany, but S. Korea is what I got. Made some amazing Korean friends and got to ski on the same slopes the Olympics used. All in all it was one of the greatest years of my life. I guess that's why I've been there twice for a total of 2.5 years. I would go again if the USAF would send me.I was going to say something similar. I was traveling to India for work. I will usually try and find a place I haven't been to on the return leg and get a layover somewhere for a couple days. This go around I was trying my hardest to get back to the UK or Ireland but crossing carriers is a bit expensive - just the luck of the draw. So I was able to select Paris. Called up a friend from Ireland, asked if they wanted to meet for a couple days in Paris, and that was all it took. Picked a hotel in the city but off the beaten path, affordable, grabbed a map, talked to receptionist, and off I went. Much to my surprise I had one of the more memorable 4 days in a while.
It helped that I had good company from a friend I haven't seen for a while who also knew someone who lived in town. So he took us to all the resultants the locals eat at, was able to translate (which was good, I didn't want to eat bone marrow or monkey brain something or other), and pick some good wine. My point is that it was the farthest thing from my list of places I wanted to lay over. I tried to get to London or Dublin but ended up in Paris - really super glad I did. It was 10x better than what I expected.
