That's a nice angel and one of my favorites. I would not mind getting one myself...

Tell me about it, lol. They had one at my LFS for about a month; called them tonight but they had already sold it. The Males display greater colorings than the Females though.
just so you know thats a chaetodontoplus meredithi the true personifer has more black on the tail.
great fish and does well in captivity considering it's a large angel. My advice would be stay away from the show or X-large sizes they tend to dislike captivity, unless the person has had it for months. I've had some large angels for over a month that hated life in a 200-350 gallon tank, wouldn't eat and slowly starved themselves. Very sad.

also I'm going to repeat myself but make sure whomever you get it from has had it for at least a month
make sure it's eating a large variety of foods and don't be cheap these are and should be expensive at least $200 I'd say. Thats my penny. Good Luck.

Thanks again. I'll be looking for a healthy one that's eating good; also, I know how much they go for:wink1: ....
It's not so much knowing how much they go for I'm just saying beware of the "inexpensive" ones. Pay the extra $50-100 more one thats been around, eating and adjusted to captivity.
Cali- I agree with that statement you are better off with one under 6". But I would still be concerned with the animals adjustment to captivity.

I don't think price would matter. Whether it is $100 or $200 or more. As long as it is eating, healthy and adjusted to captivity, that is what counts. I bought an asfur angel for $140 that died six days later, bought another one for $69.99 at a LFS and is doing great, so go figure...
It is always going to be a hit or miss situation with angels.

Personifiers were a relatively medium to low cost angel 15 yrs ago. Average price was $129 - $149, now they call them Australian males and tag them at $289

Thinking on getting one from michael stern, would pick up, don't want to have it shipped.
