Queen Angel

[spaceman]

Hi Guys!

I have friend who has tried 3 times this fish without success.

As it is a really expensive fish, it is heartbreak to hear his queen has gone up lorry again!

the last one lasted only 1 week.

Anyone who has success story with this fish? can provide tips how to choose or keep them?

thanks in advance!

sad to hear...abt his lost..

Firstly, is there anything in the tank that is stressing the poor thing out..Also, what is his water parameters?..NO2,No3...very impt to check regularly....

Hmm,i have never tried before queens but i heard tt kings are much hardier than queens but sadly they are tougher to find.

i think queens are more sensitive to water conditions but nevertheless,after acclimatization,it will be hardy

not sure abt his water condition. but anyway there are 6 other angels living happily in his tank for abt a year already. so water condition is not a issue.

we are now wondering whether is there any success reefer who has kept this fish for half a year?

Select queen above 3". When selecting them, a good and stable queen should be very curious when people approch them. They will not hide or ignore you, they will initially swim towards the front of the tank and turn their tail and sweep against the glass. SL had a few behaving like this. It is better to leave Queen alone by itself maybe in your sump with sufficent space or a quarantine tank first, introduce lettuce first, then slowly with mysis and brine shrimp. Try your own food, mysis shrimp, sea veggie , vitamin and gralic mixed them and frozen it. Feed them 3-4 times aday with min amount. It do best in a low nitrate enviroment. They consist 90%sponge in their tummy, sub sea veggie and kelp or lettuce as their main diet. And lastly they are very prone to lymphocystis( stressful). No medication can help leave them alone once they are stable it will automatic gone. I had one for 2 years,before. Current 1 bought from SL last week doing well.
