@this is me, OMG I could watch your tank all day! yes I have been looking at the RS juvi. regal from L.A I do enjoy the transition, fun to watch some day I want to do that with an emperor. but I think the regal will be a perfect show fish for my red sea 750XXL love the colors and patterns.

oh did you not QT the regal? I was thinking of doing a 6 week qt for all the fish including copper RX

To be blunt, I'm not the best person to talk about fish quarantine with.

My baby Flame angel. She is just about 1.25 inches lone. Was pretty thin when I got her from PETCO but is gaining weight quickly. This is the third Flame Angel in my 320 DT. She is been pick on a little by my Flame angel pair in the DT. However, I think you can see that she is fat and is growing a lot. Hope she will be just "one of the girls" in the near future.

Anybody else having trouble adding new angels and having them passing away in a short period of time? I always have had great success with angels but in 2019 not so much.... They are healthy and deteriorate down in a few days.. Nobody picks on them at all.. I have other angels that are established and are healthy as could be.. Any input much appreciated. I have a 265 with a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock sump and a 60 gallon tank that is plumbed in as well... Parameters are very good.. It is a fish only system...

What are the symptoms that the fish showed before dying?

My scribbled I'm rehoming sadly. [emoji22] I added a bandit angel and didn't want the two to fight. She was the largest angel at 5-6" and was the boss of the tank so didn't want to risk it with the bandit.

Beautiful fish! I’m sure you will find her a great home. You have to post pictures of the bandit!!

Awesome fish! What size tank?

Did you add the emperor as a juvenile or adult? I have a small adult in QT now. Any problems with either fish (Goldflake) and eating coral?
