Goldflake angel adult transformation

[Viking_Reefing]

Hi there!

I have this little captive bred goldflake, about 5-6cm that’s doing great. It has quite the attitude, even tries to stand up to the achilles haha.

This is my first rodeo with these guys and I’m wondering at what size the transformation to their adult colors are generally complete?
What kind of growth rate can one expect? Like most other midsized angels?

Thanks!

Thank you buddy!
My LFS here in Sweden found it for me. I believe he ordered it from De Jong.

Nice!

How big is your tank?

I am planning a pair of Captive Bred Goldflakes once I have the room for a 200-220 gallon tank. Did you gets yours from Bali Aquarich? I’m getting mine from them.

What is Bali aquarich?

I don’t know but it sounds delicious.

 

[Zionas]

A Taiwanese owned fish farm in Bali, Indonesia that specializes in the captive breeding of marine fish, mostly angels.

I gotta say some of their captive bred angels are quite delicious to my eyes.

Im assuming they don’t ship to the us?

 

[Zionas]

They do. Just have to find an LFS that carries their stock.

It’s 150x70x50 so 520L.
The wholesalers was De Jong and I would imagine they got their stick from Bali, don’t know of anyone else breeding the on a commercial scale.
