I haven't been able to get a good picture of it yet but ZoaCollector hooked me up with a beautiful Indonesian Regal Angel. It's doing very well so far. Stays fat all the time. I think two things are important for successful Regals 1- No overly aggressive fish, Regal's are very shy and they won't come out to eat, 2- Have allot of sponges in your tank as this is one of their primary food sources in the wild. Mine is eating everything I put in the tank now. I love these fish! I hope to have a descent picture soon, he's camera shy

Regals are beautiful fish! Never got one but researched them and everything said they are hard to keep best of luck hope all goes smooth!

Picking up 2 new Angels this weekend. Been waiting 30+ years for my holy grail of all angels. I'll post pics after I get them. They will be joining my current female masked Japanese swallowtail, Multibar, & potters in my 220 angel dominated tank.

Very nice blueface! I really like Brian a lot. Very responsive and has healthy livestock. Just made the 8 Hr trip there and back last month

It's about a 5 hour trip one way for me. Can't wait to see them in person.

Great pick up. I saw this fish earlier this month when I was in Chicago, stunner no doubt

Ive heard angels are not reef safe but I would love to get one to add some color to my tank. Anyone have any good experiences where the angel didn't bother your corals and if so what kind was it?

Depends on what angel and what corals. I can't keep a lot of corals because of my queen. I can keep some lps and most any sps. Also depends on the fish. Some are worse than others. If you want a mixed reef with no limitations on coral or clams then you may not want to home an Angel.

New2Saltwater · Apr 4, 2016

bummer... I have just LPS corals now.

Reef Junky150 · Apr 4, 2016

My queen loves polyps acans clams etc. I keep mostly sps vs the previous owner. That's how I obtained her for $25. Win win for both of us.

Is there anyone that is breeding dwarf angelfish?

alton · Apr 6, 2016

Breeding is easy, collecting the eggs and raising the fry too difficult

blueface · Apr 7, 2016

As soon as I release the Shepards from its acclimation box in the next few days I will post new pics of my 3 new Angels. I also have 2 more in Qt. My avatar will have to do for now.

What is wrong with this picture?

I was told I was getting in a small to medium adult Blueface (4"+) and a 2 to 3" regal from my LFS. Well the regal came in at 4" and still has a faint juvey spot on the tail, and the bluface came in 3" maybe. Both are listed as south Asia, but I think it maybe time that someone slow down on collecting BF Angels because if they are full adults by 3", are there enough large adults in that area? And yes I know I am partially to blame by getting one.
