Angel fish - let's see some

[Chaloupa]

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!

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!

Potters Angels are listed as Expert Only on liveaquaria
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.

I'm not sure - my Goldflake and Conspic. were the colours they are when I got them so I have never been through a colour morph.

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)?

[Finaddict]

no- not in the same tank
flame in the 120g and potters in my 90!

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!

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.



Have to say I really dig the Centropyge's.
