As usual, I am lost in word of your setup and the idea of queens only.

Not all angels like the sponge food.

Yes Ah Beng has a lot of blue eyes at the back tanks.

With so many queens together, maybe one day can see your queen angels start breeding in the tank? Then u can join RCT liao.

RCT = REEF CULTURE TECHNOLOGIES

They specialise in research and breeding of angelfishes. The Captive Bred resplendens and interruptus aretheir production. If u produce CB Queens i think they'll be interested to recruit u.

I love my xhatch also, but sadly the male did not survive the velvet outbreak. But bigbird will carry on the legacy and i'll be content enough jux to view his xhatch pairs photo.

Iwarna got a jumbo black tang waiting for u.

FTS... open concept for more swimming space... to compesate the lost of LR... 7kg of biohome plus is employed... might add another 5kg tomolo when i go petmart...

some useful additive for FOWLR IMO,

bio digest bacteria... ( how i know it is good? once i have a nitrite surge, dosing one ampule greatly reduce all nitrite to zero, since then, i have faothfully dose it at leats once a week)

seachem prime: my chlorine killer, while giving my fishes an additional protective slime. =)

seachem cupramine! this is super effective. always on standby until the need is there.

keeping queen angel

http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/aug2004/fish.htm

The queen angelfish is haremic, with males defending a territory occupied by two to four females. The male visits each female during the day and will feed with one female for two to five minutes before moving on to the next. When the male approaches a female, he will rush at her and then rapidly circle around her. Queen angelfish spawn just before sunset. The male swims alongside the female and flicks his pelvic fins outward and also swims in circles above her with all his fins extended. The pair then makes a spawning ascent with the male positioned below the female with his snout touching the area around her vent.

Do you follow the dosage instruction for your seachem prime?

RA story leh!!!

Mating

When the male approaches a female, he will rush at her and then rapidly circle around her. Queen angelfish spawn just before sunset. The male swims alongside the female and flicks his pelvic fins outward and also swims in circles above her with all his fins extended. The pair then makes a spawning ascent with the male positioned below the female with his snout touching the area around her vent.

Fighting

When the male approaches another Queen you thought FEMALE, he will rush at him/her and then rapidly circle around him/her. The male swims alongside the female/not sure or confirm it is male or female and flicks his/her pelvic fins outward and also swims in circles above him/her with all his fins extended. The pair then bite one another forcing the loser swim to the corner of the tank and rapid breathing with the winner positioned below the loser with his snout touching the area and keep on attacking. [/colo

dont be mistaken :eyebrow::eyebrow::eyebrow: Sikali fighting you thought mating and go out to celebrate.

Joking la no hard feeling
