Angel fish - let's see some
Here is my favorite "little angel" I have had it for about 8 months now I think
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ittleAngel.jpg And of course my big brute http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...h/IMG_3455.jpg |
Okay I'll bite. Here are my two dwarfs. These fish are both very camera shy so it's hard to get a decent picture. Both these photos were taken of a much larger tank area and the fish were cropped out & magnified so the quality is poor.
This flame is a new arrival that I've had only for a few weeks. (lives in my refugium) http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...meangel1_1.jpg Coral beauty I've had for about 2 years. http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...auty_12_06.jpg |

Hah, old fish I use to have. Passed them on to friends since. And trust me, you don't want anything of the last one, he's a monster.
|
Really tho, how long have you kept anything Albert ? :lol: :razz:
Here's my cortez, I think it is starting to change coloration. How long does that take Ruth ? http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/500/DSCN1399.JPG |
I keep things til I get bored of them.
|
lol, just what I expected. :lol:
|
I aim to please.

I don't have any angel fish, but I do have a heavyweight (see fat) Starky damsel that's the size of some dwarf angels.

our angels

Flame and potter's in the same tank, how's that working out?
I have a potter's, would love to get a flame, but have been reluctant since I hear it's kinda hit and miss for them getting along (or is that overstated)? |
no- not in the same tank
flame in the 120g and potters in my 90! |
Nice shots everyone. Angels are such colorful fish.
|
Tony if it means anything i have 2 albi's in my tank and im not sure if they are male/female but they get along great they stick together pretty good too!

One thing I was (well..still am, technically) tempted on, for when I get my 280g online, is a small school of potter's. Supposedly this can work out well if they form a harem (or is a sharem? I forget if they start off as males or start off as females). But I suppose having a flame in that mix would be a no-no then. (But then I have others tanks still, sooo ... hmmmm.)
Anyhow just to try to keep this on-topic I will try to photograph my potter's later tonight with my new toy. I finally got a DSLR to use my glass from my 35mm SLR, so hopefully this will open up new photo-ops for me. :) |

Here is a pic of my Koran Angel

Ooo awesome pics everyone. I would love to get my hands on a pair of wantabe's angels for my reef tank... they are pretty cool for a reef-safe angel!
We'll have to post a pic of our queen angel, he's nearing his color morph completion and is looking stunning! -Diana |
Serendipity - got this shot trying to take a picture of the gorg frags. Then the halides turned off and was actinic only. Then I spied the angel perfectly framed, this never happens so I took the shot and let the flash fill in the colour. So it's a bit washed out but otherwise I'd probably never get another chance like that.
Potter's angel - she has an amazing blue rim that just glows (maybe it's the actinics?). I hope I can catch it on a picture some day, it's wicked. :) http://members.shaw.ca/hobiesailor/a...s/potters1.jpg Have to say I really dig the Centropyge's. :cool: |
Tony-nice angel!!! Was tempted to have a potter's but chickened out as I had heard they were a bit tougher to keep....yours is beautiful!!! nice pic!

HAHAH! You dreamin' man.

Thanks Sarah. :) Are they reputed as more difficult? That's not been my experience so far. This one here is actually my second. My first perished in a .. "tragic anemone-moving accident" I guess I'll call it (before I realized how easily my ritteri can kill off an entire tank of fish just because it's annoyed). :cry: ). She was the best little fish, and I was impressed at how clever she was. She would act like a tang near a tank, act like a blenny near a blenny... and basically steal their food when they weren't looking. As long as any other fish likes a particular piece of food, she'll notice that and after that I'll never have a problem feeding her that particular kind of food. Nori, flake, pellets, mysis, etc.
This one I got from Willito a few months ago. Was quite timid at first and got bullied by my 6line wrasse. I tried catching my 6line (there was a thread about that escapade). But after a few weeks she was settled in and not being bullied anymore, and she's grown quite a bit since then. Same deal as my first one, I noticed she observes things and then modifies her behaviour accordingly. Anyhow sorry for the rambling! |
Hey Tony! Rambling is good.....I think I will attempt one in my next tank. I really like the look of the Potters so I think I am sold on one! :biggrin:

so that must make you an expert only... :) I've been looking for one in Calgary for awhile now and they always seem to sell before I can find them, I ordered one online but it was DOA...there was no water in the bag. I got credit but used it for dry goods instead. I hate ordering fish online. |

That would be my guess. But once they "get it" .. boy do they get it. This one eats like a little piggy.
Chaotic Cricket, yeah I agree, you don't see too many in the stores lately. Both mine came from fellow Canreefers. |
Here's my old 6-bar angel at his favorite cleaning station... He killed off all his tank mates, ate all the corals I tried to introduce to the tank; I hear a yellow tang did him in when he was sent to live elsewhere...
