Love your Maculosus Angel & Gold Flake angel alot. Where did you bought it mind to tell the damage and location of the LFS? You got very nice tear drop and big size AT.

[bojyeo]

Maculosus -> Ah Beng (cannot remember because I bought a few stuff from him and din check price)

Gold Flake -> LCK 201 Steven $250

AT -> LCK201 Steven $250

I used to have an even rounder AT which is much deeper in colour and fat but died due to a careless mistake of mine. Both ATs in same tank and doing ok.

[Kakani]

Oh okie. Is this gold flake you bought last week from Steven? Saw you has some coral in tank. Any tactic or trick no copper how to keep your AT free from ich. Using any UV or Ozone?

[bojyeo]

Yub u are right........bought from Steven last week..........condition of his Goldflake not so good then.........torn fins mostly and not eating...........only 1 small size has good ins but too small for my tank............

Actually, I quarantine alot of fishes together at 1 go in a small 2 ft tank...............use hypo at 1.008 using Pinpoint Salinity monitor for 2 weeks.............until it get too congested with fish and a mild velvet (i suspect) took place which I do copper for 2 days and then transfer to another new bigger quarantine tank for about 1 week before I release into main tank.

Currently I have 36w UV in my tank. I have experimented ATs throughout my hobby.........at 1 time I even had 4 ATs in my tank...........Ozone cannot help much for Ich........UV helps to stop the spread but hypo is the best without harming the fish........copper is also good for many diseases but not good for the fish...........

Key thing is :-

1) Water quality

2) Congestion leading to stress

3) Strong water flow

I think it was generally said that fishes can tahan nitrates better than corals. While it is true, I feel they will die sooner than later.............even more so for sensitve fishes like AT..........

The fishes are happy, very happy , swimming in perfect harmony.

A few fishes red like Angel Flame or Candy Hog would colour up the tank great.

A very pleasant video.

Good job, Uncle Jon.
