My New Sohal Tang Pic

[emperorangel]

A fowlr tank? if not the king or queen angel willgrow real big and chomp away at your corals.....

BTW...read in the magazine how fierce a queen angel can be....the writer discribe that his suoer mean queen could not tolerate any other fish (like LUohan), it caught hold of the big lionfish and slamed it against the glass...killing it....violent!!!!!

yes a fowlr tank and no way I will put a queen in a reef Wow , DB it seems like the Queen is like from WWF with what it did to the lionfish I think it didn't get a title for nothing.

Dont think you can mix a King and Queen Angel together peacefully unless you have a humongous tank. One will become dominant and be intolerant of the other.

Queen + French pairing will work better. Tried it before, but both dieded after a terrible Velvet outbreak... Argh~

sorry to hear that though! They are both beautiful fishes and it must have been a real heartache. Yes , I am thinking of upgrading to a larger tank because I am totally into Angels and Tangs/Surgeons. They're just amazing fishes Thanks for the advice I didn't know that the queen had a reputation of being aggressive. They seem so elegant and dignified appreciate the knowledge!

I think you can decide and keep a large angel as the centre piece in your large tank with many fast swimming tangs ard...will be a great sight...!!!!

But watch that bioload and the compatibility of the tangs

certainly will do DB , after discussing this , I'm going to do just that! I already have a 4 footer I think I'm getting greedy at this. I gotta get a 6 at least with a good depth! I can't wait. I'll post the pic once I get this done. Thanks DB for the inspiration! I agree it'll certainly be a sight to behold.

[DeepBlue]

Good luck......reef on! We'll wait eagerly....

Eh btw my king don't bother my coral at all

For FOWLR tank, I think keep a few Golden Buttleflies, 1-2 tangs (Naso and Sohal) and 1-2 angels (Blueface and Rock Beauty) good enough. All big enough and got character and colour.

Pardon for dreaming cos I have a reef tank and wife will not allow another tank in the house.

[Chris]

If I have 3000g tank, I'll just turn it into a swimming pool with babes!

[Dispar_Anthias]

Eh something liek this but this is a 20000gallon tank and is 30 feet in length

[DeepBlue]

Is this bigger than my house????

[emperorangel]

Good luck......reef on! We'll wait eagerly....

Woah! Nice tank DB! Actually the Sohal shouldn't have a problem feeding though but you need to train them on a certain food at a time. Brine shrimp is always very hard to resist! You can soak the nori and tear it into tiny bits but don't throw in alot just a single piece at a time to see if they nip on it. They may take it in and then throw it out but don't be dishearten. My Sohal just loves it now and he can't stop rushing for the pellets that I throw in too. The Sohal is one of the fastest fish that I know who could adapt to all kinds of food given. When fishes are weaned on a certain diet it takes some patience to except other varieties. Try and do the same with the Kole , eventually they will need to feed on the other goodies you throw in. My fishes were so use to brine shrimp and vegetables that they refuse to take anything esle but now they're simple begging for variety!

[DeepBlue]

let the plastic container stay there for a few days...put in food...leave the fishes to go in and nip or eat...dun frighten them.....once their guard are down few days later....can start the waiting game then...patience is the key...took me an hour to fish my blue face out
