I bet. Nothing like tank bred dwarf angels. Venustus and multibar angels are such a challenge. It took a lot of TLC to get both of my pairs fully accustomed to tank life.

It's so hard to find healthy fish like these. Karen has inspired us all with aquacultured angels.

How do you order from her?

Hello Angel Owners- what do u think adding 2 Angels at the same on standard 65g- would like to add if possible Potters, Flame or Flameback, Or what will work?
Currently have a Clown, Cardinal, LAwnmower Blenny and Few shrimps and Corals-LPS and Softies. Thanks!

It may work but just depends on the individual fish.

I'm a little angel crazy ,.... Sorry iPad photo... Quality poor.

6 Angels :

Emporer --- can't miss him streamer growing ....
Bandit---- been in display for couple days.botton right... Hard time with him in quarinetine and then acclimitation box .... Emporer has been fine with him .... No aggression ,... The occasional grunt sends the bandit scurrying.
Blue line ---- juvinile about 2 months out of quarinetine, doing well emporer pays him no mind...
Japanese swallowtail pair- male changing...
Juvinile regal : out of quarinetine but in 150 gallon Margo algue tank - I have had bad luck with these Angels, just want to give him/her another month or so to fatten up. I will get another when he/she is in display.
griffon pair - I'm deciding (they are on hold for me) I think I'm looking for trouble , with another pair ... All my angels are different spiecies so I have read this should work... Any angel expert your advise will be welcome.
Will also get a small angel spiecies , just waiting for the right one,...

My favorites fish overall:
Emperor
Regal
Badit

Unfortunately, I have a 90g lps dominate so I dont see myself getting any of these any point in the near future as my tank is too small an heard they are far from being reef safe..Bummer.. But hey, I enjoy beautiful coral>phiiish.

My Red Sea Regal angel

I got him from DD when he was just 3" and in little over a year he's now about 4".

My bandit angel from Rufus

He was just 5cm and is now close to 8cm. He's probably one of my favorite angels because he's always grazing and comes right up to the tank glass to say hello.

Juvenile scribble angelfish

He's probably one of the more curious angelfish out there and he's here swimming along the top of my rimless DT.

He looks like a juvi. What is he eating? I have a large potters from DD and I've yet to see him eat after three weeks.

He's almost 3" in length. Mine wont touch dry food but seems to like the LRS reef frenzy. He spends most of his time pecking at the rock and sand for algae and whatnot as well.

Nice one. I have a few fish from Rufus. One of my favorites as well.

I got this Scribbled Angel over the weekend. It only has one eye, so it's a rescue of sorts, but it swims fine, eats fine and none of my other fish bother it. It had been at the LFS for over two months and nobody wanted it.
