Dear bros,

any one tried rock beauty ? (the one yellow in colour and have a black patch on the body) . can you pls share with me your experience v. tempting to buy this expansive fish from LCK110.

Hi bro, u shouldn't buy rock beauty. This angel was almost imposibble to keep alive in any lenght of time in the tank. Eventhough few of expert can keep them alive, but on most cases this fish is really hard to keep in the tank. There are lots of other choice that much more easy to keep such as Asfur, Maculosus, King, French, Queen, Blue Face, even Regal Angel are easier compare to Rock Beauty. FYI, my friend are tried to keep this beauty angel for almost 10 times with various size, and all tempt are death in about few weeks or month.

If u can get ur rock beauty to eat, then it is a sign a good progress. But, this angel is not like anyother angel that can be live healthy on various food, so like Travy said u must serve this angel with a sponge base food instead of meat food. Because this fish rely heavily on sponge as their primary food, especially when they are in adult size.

I find that it is easier to keep rock beauty than regal. I've 2 rock beauty in my tank, they are feeding well with pellet or frozen food despite being constantly bullied by the more aggressive queen.

u r welcome to my hse to feed my rock beauty anytime

I paid higher premium for a healthy & already feeding species from the LFS, chances of survivor is greater
