very nice Queen. Your water perimeters must be good to make your queen so blue.

Found another beautiful Belize queen video.

The blue on queen angels are known to fade in captivity although Belize queens are believed to hold their blue better.

When i had my 5ft tank i kept a huge 14" (excluding streamers length) carribbean queen angel which i bought because of its mesmerizing blue. So carribbean queens can also be as blue as the Belize ones.

Here is one extreme blue queen from the usual carribean collection point, florida. An old fish in Japan but dont think the blue held throughout its captivity.

[Digiman]

Here are two st paul queens also from japan.

All documented to revert to normal coloration.

The latter piece reminds me of the cilpperton angelfish!

Digiman pls share your 14" beauty photo here leh. Was yours able to hold the blue?

Sadly i do not have any pics of the fish and that was many years back.

I kept it for only a few weeks before returning it to the LFS. The fish was too big for my 5 by 2 tank. Width of tank is the problem, it could not turn properly and it will be very sad for the fish if i keep it any longer.

As i did not keep the fish for long so i cant comment if it was able to hold the blue. But when i got the fish it was very blue, almost as blue as the piece u posted in the youtube video above.

Although my preference is a blue queen, the yellow queen (mostly from brazil) is also not easy to find, in fact it is harder to find!

Shown here is a very yellow queen.

I think Bigbird or someone else here kept a Brazilian yellow queen as bright as the fish above. So if u see this thread pls update us with some pics!

[Digiman]

Here is a famous aberrant juvenile in extreme yellow coloration with very little blue, acquired by BBox last year. This fish came in through their carribbean shipment.

This fish is so rare because the aberration happens at such a young age which is very unusual as aberrations are usually found on large adult fishes like the st paul queens.

It will be very interesting to see how the color of the fish progresses in captivity.

My dream fish!!

[kelvinw]

Very nice queen angel fish,I keep two queen in my tank.

[Zender]

Due to some evil poisoning from a bro here, I fell in love with the Queen Angel. But dare not jump straight to the most expensive Bezile ones. So Finally I bought the cheaper ones from Brazil known to be more Yellow.

The first Pic is my Queen when I first got it in my tank after acclimatisation. Still Kinda Yellow.

2nd Pic is taken after few weeks after the Queen has stabalized and started feeding. Also it has already claim territory from my Emperor Angel.. haha.. Getting more Blue. I hope the it holds it's Blue as most say Brazil Queens will not hold it's blue well in captivity.
