What are your thoughts on dwarf golden angels

[Twìsted~Coral]

I’m looking to get one what do you guys think have you had one ?

DD has a few now. They are good looking angles. I would consider getting one if I didn't already have a Potter's in QT. Hopefully someone here has some experience with them.

They hide a lot..........I wouldn't pay the price they are going for now.

 

[Waters]

I tried one a while back with no luck. As stated, they are timid and hide a lot.....mine refused to eat anything and wasted away.

 

[Tcook]

Wow. Thanks for the input. One to avoid.

I was thinking of buying one since they are only 180 at my local store. Looks like I’ll go for a flame

I’ve had two. One was the shyest fish I’d ever had. Beautiful but cryptic.
The other was from DD. Very bold and a ton of personality.
I won’t get one unless I know it was conditioned/quarantined as I think some are cyanide collected dye to their cryptic nature

They were $100 at a store near me and I avoided them

In a mature reef tank they will do well. But they are very very reclusive. My record is 18 months without a sighting after a tank issue. And then discovering not one survived but all three. These fish are seldom seen. They don't come out to eat. So your tank has to be mature enough for them to feed in all the dark caves and spaces they flourish in. I had a pair spawn in my tank and Vincent Chalais captured it and wrote an article about it in a French Reefing magazine. They are NOT cyanide collected. The few areas they are collected in are all well governed fishing areas. These fish are very deep and very reclusive.

Might get one then haha, in your opinion how are they with corals compared to other dwarfs or relatively the same?

I still don't understand why I paid what I paid for mine, and why they're so expensive to begin with.......

This is him 99.99% of the day......

Your wrasse may be part of the reason he doesn’t come out. They do better with other peaceful and timid fish.

That sixline was a very recent addition, and if anything the dwarf angel bullies him. And I don't think sixlines are super aggressive at all?

He used to come out and swim around with my foxface all the time, but I brought my foxface back to LFS when I sprained my ankle a couple months ago.

I'll have to get another one but hard to find healthy ones near me that are young enough and small enough to go in my tank until I upgrade in a year or 2.
