Success with Bandit Angel

Hi,

Would like to do a check whether anyone had success in keeping Bandit for long? They are known to survive poorly in captivity.

Saw a video showing the fish eating pellets greedily.

This guy even has 2 Bandits in the tank :eyebrow:

Many an enthusiast thought he made it when the fishes viz. regal angel, Phillipine halfmoon angel,etc. start to eat and grow fat. Unfortunately, even for the exceptional few, who have managed to keep the moorish idol, the happiness is shortlived.

The ocean is vast as compared to our home tanks.

Keeping the tried and tested ones, will in the long run, reduce unnecessary stress.

Happy reefing.

This is one of my favorite fish as well, i tried once and although i managed to get it feeding after two day, the fish die due to ich outbreak in my QT.

Since this fish is collected from deep water, common problem seem to be decompression, bloated stomach and diseases challenges faces on all other angel fish. However, a few reefer i know manage to keep it on a FOWLR tank and feeding it with plenty of sea weed and sponge on rock for a start.

It can be consider an easy fish to keep if we manage to find one which was caught and shipped properly. Smallest size of bandit seem to be the easiest to start with but can easily cost twice or triple of the price.
