Watch out that they don't fight, specially as the Imperator can be very aggressive and get more aggressive the larger they become.

cool marrone its ok so far. i took out all the rock turned off the lights and acclimated him with a water change as well. the schribbled does appear to be shy but i have to say i am real suprised that the imporator is eating algae when they are aponge eaters

LOL

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sexay, thas all I can say. That fish is one of the reason's I got into the hobby. Bastard at the LFS said I can have one in my 55, until a fellow reefer told me he was nuts. lol

having any angel is risky but there has been reported success with them. i have seen them work it depends on a lot of things for it to be a go

Huh? The larger angel are some of the hardiest fish around with some living in captivty for 10, 15 and 20 years. Some people have actually used Queen angels to cycle tanks.

 

[jawwad2004]

My angel just started to eat food in my tank! Im so excited, shes eatin clams!!!! woo hoo!!!

 

[Tonyscoots84]

very niceeeeeee. congrats that is a B E A UTIFUL fish. best of luck

 

[Tonyscoots84]

yea jawwad u could have him if he was 1 inch big and then be ready to upgrade your 55 gallon in like 5 months to a 120 or even bigger. hehe those freakin lfs guys always look to make money off of us.

 

[jawwad2004]

Yea man, I dont have my 55 anymore, upgraded to the 90. Next upgrade is a 210 aga rr in about 2 years god willing. You think I can get away with an emperator in a reef tank?

 

[pmui]

it a hit or miss in a reef. some angels will eat you corals.

 

[DRZL]

I wish I had an angel

but I do like having my corals intact

But they are nice!

 

[nycmat]

yeah i know what you are saying marrone i ment it towards reefs. yes they are real hardy fish

 

[marrone]

Ok the small reef angels, yeah alot of them aren't that hardy and don't have long life spans, usally 1-5 years in captivity. The Flame angel is probably the best of the smaller angels in terms of hardiest and living the longest.
