Flame angels keep dying

[PowderTang]

Hi 

 

whenever I buy a flame angel from LFS, it will die within days 

 

tried many specimens already and same result 

 

may I know wad is wrong ?

 

thanks

It's sad to hear that. .maybe try to quarantine the fish for some time before adding it to the main tank..

Think this beauty prefer tank with coral rather than flowers tank..

Good luck...

Flame angels are pretty hardy

Check your tank parameters. 

All livestock, including fish, require a stable environment with good bacteria culture.

If your fish keep dying, probability of fault lies with your tank, rather the  the fish.

Eating well and suddenly die. Is it due to eating mysis??

Well

 

if I buy from LFS, usually the survival rate not high as compared if I buy from reefers

 

so far no luck with LFS

previously i bought 2 flames, both died.. all my other fishes like firefish, clowns, goby and chromis doing fine... waited for about 3-4 months later, got another flame angel, this time round, hes doing good.. week 2 and still swimming around and eating well.. fingers cross..

I hope you acclimatise the fish well before placing in main tank. The KH difference can be really harmful.
Always get flame angel that feed on pallets than you buy them, else they are very finicky and only want to graze on algae on rock or tank wall. If they can fight for food in MT, than gg and die within a week.
