Had to post in the Fish section in addition to my build thread as I’m too excited....

Since getting into this hobby 15 years ago, I dreamed about getting a conspic angel. I was young and in school, couldn’t afford one, so settled for a blueline (was was an awesome fish).

Today as a birthday present from my awesome
Wife I got the go ahead and received my Captive bred Conspic Angel from Matt at POMA labs!!!!

What a treat! Matt was awesome to work with. He picked me out an awesome specimen! It arrived in a huge box for 1 fish:

Open the box to find this:

The “pull here” tab was awesome. It’s always a pain to get the tape off from the lid. This tab took the tape right off!

Every fish comes with a certificate:

Matt took extra time to write a personalized note in their catalog which was very cool:

The fish was packed in a huge bag, with a ton of water.

Acclimated the fish and he’s hanging out in my acclimation box for a few days so the tangs can get used to him. Sorry for the bad pictures. He’s a little shy...but man is he FAT!

So excited about this!

Maybe this weekend when I have time I’ll take some tank pictures and do a big update. More exciting fish coming too!
 
Wow! you should be very proud. Terrific acquisition.
Poma labs is a website I check all the time, they are really doing amazing things.
 
Congratulations. How big is it? On my wish list too. Only need another 10 years of savings before I can afford it though.

Thanks!

He’s about 2.5” or maybe 2.75”. He holds his own with my powder blue and purple tangs which are just over 3”.

Starting to settle in and eat some frozen food and pick at the rocks.
 
Love to get an update, how has he done with coral?
 
He’s an awesome fish. Grown well, really fat and happy. He nips here and there, but after watching a powder blue tang nip a new torch frag who honestly knows anymore what fish is truly reef safe.

Every angel can nip even captive breed. If you love Conspics it’s worth the risk IMO, but to each their own.
