[yeo99]

1. Golden angel

2. Multi bar angel

3. Collin angel.

4. Copper band

5. Moorish idol

[Sengreef]

Multibar angel the most difficult feeding in my experience but i really like the fish so much ... Rock Beauty and Morish Idol too never survive more than a year even feeding on pellet food ...

[Harlequinmania]

Imo I think golden angel is the hardest to keep in captive.

Why I say copperband? Most of the people buy copperband for one purpose, after finishing it's mission, it is wasted because difficult to feed on other thing.

[Omoto chief xtreme]

I think the moorish idol is the most diffcult to keep

[Anchorman]

IMHO, the Mandarin fish is the most difficult fish to keep in captivity tank. It is also very stressful for reefers to have one starving fish keep looking for food in their tank. I would strongly advocate to the people of the trade to stop import this cute n beautiful fish. Support me pls.

My mandarin is very fat and healthy. u need to understand your tank condition. I even have 1 that feeds on pellets.

I have a mandrian fish for more than a year now, eating pellet and frozen brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. It is not so difficult, you need a more peaceful tank, less competition for foods. If not, the fish have no chance to try pellets or frozen foods. They are slow eater, just like seahorse.

Mandrian are quite robust to ich. So disease is usually not cause of death.

I think Red Sea cleaner wrasse.Juv. Reef safe but grow up MUST feed entirely on LPS and SPS.Or so I've heard.

PBT! I luv tis fish but find it most difficult of all tangs. I know there are success stories as well.

[Happy13]

I vote for moorish idol, never have any luck with them...

QT the fish with copper and feed the fish with red bamboo to start with. Slowly try to feed it with pellets. Tang are normally hungry like a pig. So it is quite easier to get them to feed. Only problem is the ich. So qt with copper will help.

Next problem is PBT likes to fight like no one business, with PT, all powder series, AT, Clown tang, sohal tang ..... You will see this problem when added in the main tank with tangs.

Lastly I found that butterfly fish in general is more challanging as compared with angels and tangs.

Tukas anthias for me...got 3 only 1 survived till now.. the rest perished without eating a single bit of food offered.

[Happy13]

I find that butterfly survival are very slim...

Royal gramma & Multibar angel are the most difficult for me. Simply too shy and non-competitive when it comes to eating.

[reefer6]

Always have a problem with Flame Angels.

[Bulldozer]

I have no luck with the Blue Lip Angel.

By far, toughest for me.

[I love angel]

I have no luck with the Blue Lip Angel. By far, toughest for me.

I have been only able to keep for max 6 months. Very sensitive to water quality as compared with other large angels. Anyone keep blue lip angel for more than a year?

[Fukcable Fcuker]

Multibar angel , ><"

lost 2 of them , I won't buy it again

[brojj]

Moorish idols. Very difficult to get them feeding. Very choosy & would choose to strave to death, unless u see it feeding already at the LFS before buying it.
