Singapore angel

Got this guy this afternoon. He's already happily picking at the rockwork after a 4 hr drip acclimation.

Fantastic pics, John.

Is that another name for a scribbled? It looks like a scribbled angel...

Peace,

Great shot!

It does kinda look like a scribbled, now that you mention it! It is a different species, though. The Singapore is Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus sp., while the scribbled is Chaetodontoplus dubolayi.

Same genus, different species (and drastically different price!) Here's the scribbled:

Thanks! He's in my 125 system, but this guy is actually really small--maybe 2". Supposedly they're good filamentous algae eaters, and I've got a nice crop of hair algae (that thank god is confined to the back wall of the tank).

I think the singapore angels are dwarfs. If you like dwarf angels like that then you need to try and get your hands on a China Blue Line. They are very simular to the Annularis in color and pattern.
