I got mine from marine collectors. Took about a year of searching

How hardy do you find your purple mask angel? I read that they were hard to get to eat

How do you tell between sexes in flame angelfish?

Venusta are well deserving of the very difficult reputation. When they came in I started them for a week at 10-15 feedings a day. Over 3 months weaned that down to 3x frozen and 2x dry a day. Still lost the male from the pair to an unknown disease. Not a hardy fish at all, should be left to experienced aquarists.

Ok thank you very much for that valuable information. I’ll pass on them for now. My level of experience or expertise hasn’t got up to that level yet.

Is there any dwarf angels that you would recommend?

Generally flames, coral beauties, Flame backs, and the caribbean pygmy are regarded as the hardiest.

My Regal and my Male Flame angels jousting. The Regal was smaller but slowly catching up to the Flame, which maxed out in growth, I think.

Wow!!!! No issues getting your Regal to eat and adapt to aquarium life?

Small Regal Angels do better, than large big ones IME

Ok great. I’m trying to decide on what other angel I should get for the tank when the time is right. Regal is one of the ones that i’m thinking about. I’m definitely getting a Scribbled Angel to go in the tank

Very nice. From the Res Sea? What size of tank are they in? I want to put the Scribbled and another one in a 205 gallon tank

My two Regal Angels are from Maldive. Got them from Alton/Live Aquaria when they were very small. Theya re in a 320DT. About two years in captivity. One of my favorite Angels.

very nice. Do you have them in the tank with other angels? Any tangs in there with the regal? If so, do the high pace of the tangs bug the Regal? I read that it could affect the Regal if the other fish in the tank are too active or aggressive. Thoughts?

I have 5 angels in my 320 gal tank, Flame and 2 Regal Angels. 3Tangs, a Purple, a Yellow and a Powder Blue. The angels sometime flaring at each other, mainly the male Flame and the two Regal angels. Other than that no problem. The other large fish is a Harlequin Tusk. I had a Copperband Butterfly but he was killed by one of the carpets.

Ok good.
I’m stuck between the Regal, Goldflake, False Personifier and Conspicuous angel to go with the Scribbled that I want. My dream angel is the Queen angel however I figure that my tank might be too small for it at 205 gallons. I’m not sure how fast they grow though. Not sure if I would have 7-8 years with the Queen or only 2-3 before it outgrew the tank.
My choices of tangs are purple, yellow, blue hippo and Achilles.

so cute fish, I like so much it)
I always wonder how such a miracle exists in this world. Water, animals, Air - these things make my heart so relax and I feel this energy.
Usually, if have some pressure at my study, my aquarium makes sense for my inner feeling.
