That's a beauty!!!! Now I wonder if I should trade my normal queen for a belize queen!?!

And yah... unfortunately due to some sad equipment failure and possibly a school boy error. Sigh. Sps all botak.

So now I have fowss - fish only with sps skeleton. Haha.

[yellowtang]

Your tank is matured. Not keeping Sps is wasteful and sinful, too.

Sps with Angels complement each other.

Just a matter of juggling the time.

Cheers ,

You are showing some wonderful angels on this thread.

I wanted to comment on feeding, as this is a major theme with adult angels, especialy Pomocanthids, which includes Euxiphipops, Holocathus, Pomocanthus. In nature the adults live mainly from sponges, tunicates, and alga, also worms may be taken. As this is a protien.poor diet, their digestive systems are not designed to handle large amounts of protien, which krill are! Also, other shrimp based and fish based foods are not good for the adults. There are frozen sponge-based foods available, formulated for large angels. I've had excellent success with them.

Although I do not have any way to prove it one way or the other, protiens are very quick to spoil and carry potentially harmfull bacteria, which may be making matters worse for an intestine that is not designed for mass protien diets..

I am currently raising a P. annularis in my reef. As he is still juvenile (5cm), he is eating more protien-rich foods to build his body. Despite this his favourite foods are algae-based flakes! Doesn't like pellets, won't touch krill, likes artemia. He does a lot of picking on the rocks, but has shown no interest in any corals or anemonies, which shouldn't be part of his diet, anyway.

Normally, I would say one of the more difficult parts of feeding the angels is getting the right food into them. If they are hungry enough, they may eat anything, even food that may make them sick. I have found most of my fish simply do not eat that which they do not like, but none of them are hungry or under stress. Fresh introductions to a tank are under stress and may simply eat anything in an effort to look as though they know what they are doing. This confident behavious protects them from possible attacks and challenges from other fish.

In nature, angels rarely take food direct from the water column. They are more searcher-picker feeders. This is one reason why some have trouble eating anything until it hits the bottom of the tank and can be picked at. I used to fill clam shells with an algae paste, let them dry and add them to the tank for the fish to pick at. often helps the more difficult specimens to adjust.

Just some thoughts I wanted to share.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for sharing your though on the feeding . I had experience angel fish suffering from bloated stomach feeding mainly only on mysis shrimp which might be the reason of too much protein in their diet which you mention.

Which is also why i try to give a more balance diet of protein food in the morning ( Mysis, scollap , Prawn meat ) and afternoon or night ( solely pallets or flakes ) and supper ( seaweed ) twice a week so as not to depend solely on frozen food.

unfortunately, we don't seem to find frozen sponge base food selling here which is good for their diets

[dnsfpl]

no wonder my bandit refuse to eat mysis after first week

thanks for sharing

There is a frozen sponge & algae food formulated for angels from "Ocean Nutrition" and some LFS carry this product. Have tried but not all angels love it.

Nv feed mysis to your fishes unless possbile. I notice that the frozen mysis we get causes many case of bloated stomache and internal issue to our marine fishes. One of the main reason I suspect is the handling and logistic which the mysis may end up defrosting and refreezing in different locations before arriving at our house.
