I LOVE LARGE ANGELS

[Steve Blum]

I WAS TOLD NEVER PUT MORE THAN ONE ANGEL IN A TANK AND NOT MORE THAN 1 PER FAMILY I HAVE 3 POMOCANTHUS, ANNULARIS, ASFUR, BLUE FACE THEY APPEAR TO BE DOCILE TO EACH OTHER. I BOUGHT THE BLUE FACE AND ANNULARIS TODAY FROM LIVEAQUARIA, MY ONLY REGRET IS I COULD NOT QUARANTINE THEM, A 30 GALLON IS MUCH TO SMALL FOR ANGELS, CONFINING THEM IN THIS SIZE TANK CAUSES MORE HARM THAN GOOD, LAST WEEK I GOT A HARLEQUIN TUSK FROM LIVEAQUARIA ALSO DID NOT QUARANTINE, TOO LARGE THE HARLEQUIN IS A MONSTER. LIVEAQUARIA HAS HAD TROUBLE WITH STOCKING BECAUSE OF COVID, I ORDERED A MEDIUM LARGE BLUE FACE, THEY SENT ME AN EXTRA LARGE NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE, I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING ESPECIALLY BECAUSE PETCO BOUGHT THEM, ALL THREE FISH I GOT FROM LIVEAQUARIA APPOEAR VERY HEALTHY. I AM VERY PLEASED NOW I HAVE SOME MORE BEAUTIES TO WATCH I ALSO HAVE A QUEEN ANGEL AND FALSE PERSONIFER, NO PROBLEMSS

I like to get the smallest fish that is hardy enough for me to keep alive. I would pick smaller rather than larger every time.

All my fish I get are small so I can watch the grow or even change. I have a show size emporer angel and watch him change all his stages. Thats the beauty of fish

YES I AGREE WITH YOU THEY ARE EASIER TO HAVE SUCESS WITH, YNONLOYN P0ROBOEM IS I HAD A FEW PRETTY LARGE ANGELS, A QUEEN ASFUR, AND A FALSE PERSONIFER, SO I WAS LEARY THAT THE BIG ONES WOULD BULLY A SMALL ONE. I ORDERED FROM LIVEAQUARIA VAND THEY SHIPPED ME LARGE ANNULARIS,N AND AN EVEN BIGGER BLUE FACE, THEY CHARGED ME THE CHEAPER PORICE, NRIGHT NHOW BECAUSE OFB COVID YOU ARE LUCKY TO GET ANYTHING

I WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE FROM YOU, MY NEW ANGELS ARE IN M MY DT AS I HAD EXPLAINED, THE OTHER FISHB ARE NOT BOTHERING THE EW ONES,NBUT THE NEW ONES ARE STAYING IN A CORNER, SHOULD I LEAVE THEM ALONE OR MAKE THEM SWIM OUT IN THE OPEN, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THESE COWARDS TO GET OVER THEIRB SHY B WAYS, TELL YOUN I WAS SURPRISEDBBY THIS

Leave them till theycare comfortable and remember they are probably still stressed from the shipping and being in a new place. Remember in the reefing hobby everything takes time

 

[IKD]

If you just added them, I would give them a few days to acclimate. Hopefully they didn’t bring anything unwanted if you didn’t quarantine.

I JUST CHECKED THE TANK, LOOKS LIKE THE ANNULARIS IS NO LONGER TO SCARED OF THE QUEEN, THE ANNULARIS IS TAKING NO MORE CRAP FROM THE QUEEN, THE BLUE FACE IS A COWARD, NONE OF THE 3 POMOCANTHUS ARE BEING BELLIGERENT WITH ECH OTHER I WILL TAKE YOUR ADVICE AND LEAVE ACCLIMATE

MANY THANKS, BY THE WAY MY HARLEQUIN IS OUTSTANDING, BRAVE AND A RAVENOUS EATER

NOTHEY WERE TOO BIG TO QUARNTINE IN MY 30 GALLON TANK. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY HARLEQIN, IT IS DOING VERY WELL. I WILL LEAVE THE NEW FISH ALONE AS YOU SAID, I AM ALWAYS TEMPOTED TO INTERVENE AS I AM A WORRIER

Nice fish list! I love angels. Out of curiosity how did you acclimate the angels to your display tank? I have never ordered from Live Aquaria, but I heard they ship fish in low salinity.

Also do you have pics?

Dude, capslock!

I DID ACCLIMATE THEM FOR THREE HOURSB BEFORE I DIMPEDB THEM, I HAVE A BIG NEDT AND COULD NOT SCOOP THE FISH UP AS THE NET WAS TOO BIG FOR THE BAG. I HAD TO RESORT TO USING MY HAND, SOME OLD TCHNOLOGY.

I AM NOT GOOD WITH DOING PICTURE TRANSFERS BUT MY KIDS WILL HELP ME IN A COUPLEN OF DAYS

BEST REGARDS

[Robert Binz]

according to my mom I’m a large angel

Are you not afraid of a parasitic infection? I tend to not buy fish I cannot quarantine. I’m considering setting up a full time quarantine tank that is always running, not just when I need it. I find the ammonia variable being the largest issue over size of tank.

I HAVE A QUARINTINE TANK 30 GALLONS RUNNING FULL TIME I KEEP A FEW FISH IN IT TO KEEP THE CYCLE. IN MY OPINION PEOPLE WHO ADVISE TO USE A 30 GALLON QUARANTINE TANK ARE FULL OF BALONEY. FISH CAN BE TOO LARGE FOR A 30G AND THEY QUICKLY GO DOWN HILL IN THEIR. I DO WORRY ABOUT PARASITES ETC, I CAN ALWAYS TREAT THEM WITH COPPER SAFE IN THE DT. THE DAMAGE THE SMALL QUARANTINE TANK CAUSES OUT WEIGHS ANY BENEFITS

Dude, capslock!

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL REPLY ABOUT CAPS, THE PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THIS NOTION SHOULD ROT IN HELL AND THOSE WHO LISTEN AND PARTICIPATE ARE FOOLS. I HAD A STROKE AND IT KIS DIFFICULT TO SWITCH FROM CAPSB TO LOWER CASE, SO I LEAVE IT ON CAPS AS IT LOOKS BETTER. I AM SURE THEIR ARE MANY DISABLED PERSONS WHO ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS PERSON WHOV STARTED THIS CRAP SHOULD BE TARRED AND FEATHERED, IT SHOWS INSENSITIVITY FOR THE DISABLED. GLAD YOU ARE NOT IN MY SHOES, IT IS NOT REWARDING TO BE DISABLED

If you have no corals or invertebrates in the DT you can absolutely treat them in there. One article I read showed 80% of ornamental fish have internal parasites.
