They sure are a pretty Angel. Have you kept the African Flamebacks before? How long did they live for you?

The blue tail of the Brazilian one is just so mesmerizing.
I had one 15+ years ago and think I had it until I brok down that tank. It was lightly stocked and had relatively larger fish. Since I couldn’t find the Brazilian I settled for an argi. Lol I don’t seem to have a pic of it.

Here’s one I took home from the lfs .Tried it twice and was never successful for very long. Beautiful though.

Is that not a potters Angel?
It looks like it was beautiful though :)

I didn’t have a pic of the cherub so I threw this one up.

If you Tcook could take a picture of Cherub and/or Cherubim then such photo image of heavenly creature(s) was probably safe to post.
Seraph or Seraphim are another topic altogether.
Neither are photogenic (I chuckle when followed up by wordy artist renderings.)

I won’t tell him he is a “heavenly creature “. He has enough of an attitude already.

Nice looking wrasse. 5”, that’s like a small submarine!

Good luck if you decide to try a Potter’s or any difficult Angel again. the last time you had a Xiphypops Angel was some time ago, do you still remember approximately how long you had the Cherub for (before breaking down the tank)? I am interested to see if the smaller angels (pygmies) live shorter lives than the medium-large Centropyge.

Spotted Drum and/or Jackknife fish are such elegant swimmers and have stunning lines. If I had a large tank I would construct every aspect around that fish.

Green Mandarin. Beautiful, peaceful fish. My LFS in California would get them to eat frozen blood worms.
So, it was super easy to care for. Cannot wait to get my tank going and buy another one.

Sorry, for the lousy photo.

My sunrise dottyback. Very pretty fish imo, he made a burrow under rockwork and has been a nice addition.

This little Waspfish is doing great and seems to like the hair algae growing in my tank now after the sponge eradication.

How long have you had this guy?
Does he eat anything special or just graze around the tank?
Curious as mine seems to only want ghost shrimp or amphipods.

It is an Awesome grouper-looking fish that maxes out at 6 inches, is peaceful (unless you can fit in its mouth), super hardy, and reef safe. Bonus that they are from the Caribbean meaning they are CHEAP. Barley anyone, including Caribbean/Florida collectors, ever gets them in stock due to people not knowing how cool these fish are.

He is new, Maybe 2 months but he eats what I feed the tank, Worms, clams and mysis. But he doesn't move much so I "shoot" some food his way if I see him but I think he will be fine with no help from me.
