Potter angel

[nuj244]

I read somewhere that survival rate of potter angel is only 5%.

For those who have experience on this fish, how long you keep it alive?

Anyone who bought from recent TFC shipment (2 weeks ago) who bought and keep it alive up to now give some advise how to make it feed?

I hv one for almost 2 weeks now. I did not see it eat but still fat.

Did your angel nip at anything ? How about swimming pattern. You post at reef fish only so I assume they will try to nip at your coral for food?

It is not impossible. You need to get juvenile, healthy specimen and your tank must be established with no stress to the potter. Know ppl who are successful on potter angel for at least 3 times.

Due to better handling and collection method, potter angel has a much higher survival rate than before.

I had mine for 9 months in a fowlr setup. My advise is not to rush your purchase until you find one that starts feeding at the lfs. Then chances are higher. Also, it is quite aggressive. I can't add any other smaller dwarf angels into my tank as this bigger will bully the hell out of the newbies...

Not a easy dwarf :must Find a healthy one who eat pellet , and stress free ( better to put him first ) If you intend to add more dwarfs afterwards.

Thanks for the reply. I thought this is a shy fish and not aggressive as i read several posts online that flame normally harrass this fish. Anyway, hope mine will survive although i hv not seen it eating yet since 2 weeks ago or maybe it is eating when the light is off.

monitor your fish, my previous potter , eating well but died because of my flame , I think mine died from stress

Good luck for yours.. It's a nice fish

Cheers

Today is exactly 1 month since i bought the potter. I still don't see it feeding or nipping on something. Wondering how it is surviving?

Almost 2 months, my potter still not eating (as observed) even frozen mysys or brine. It is bery timid! But now very active after introducing a smaller flame. Keep chasing the flame but it is too slow for the flame. Any advise to encourage it to eat pellet or frozen food
