Behaviour of bicolor angel

[haimi]

I have bought another bicolor after the first one RIP last week. Just couldn't resist buying another one due to the beauty of this crature.

But his time round, i wanna make sure things are done perfectly.

Need advice from you guys on the behaviour of this specie. On the first day and second, it has been veery active swimming around my tank and

scanning the glass tank up and down. Is this normal? Or is it due to stress? Thanks.

You have to check your your water parameter. Bi-colour is more difficult to feed as compared to other dwaft angels. Buy them from fish shop like Sealife, make sure that they are feeding before you buy the fish.

bicolor nature very timid, so if the fella dont know how to eat, and placed in a mature tank, it tends to hide and die of hunger.

2 of it died on my hands , the third one i isolate and trained it to feed first before releasing in the main tank

[TFMANIAC]

I've kept them twice... and both died due to them not wanting to feed. It's quite sad since they are very beautiful.

At least my Midnight Dwarf Angel is doing great.

Hi bro

After much reading on bi-color angel, I think it need to be the first fish into the tank. Once it start feeding and stable, it should be fine mixing with others fishes.

What I did for my pair of bi-color as follow:

1. Introduce my bi-color as my first fish into my main tank after the tank been cycled for 1 month.

2. Brought another bi-color (slightly bigger) and kept in my QT.

3. After 3 months, I introduce the bi-color from the QT into the main tank as my second fish.

This pair of bi-color (not sure if they are 1 male and 1 female) been in my tank now for 2.5 years with other of my fishes.

Two has died under my care, not feeding. I have also read in other sites and in books that it is a very difficult to fish to keep.

But they are so commonly offered for sales.

Just wondering about the success rates in Singapore....anyone else wants to share?

bicolours are very difficult. place them in tanks with plenty of liverock and try weaning them onto live food first. then slowly wean to frozen and maybe even dry food.

[DUCADOS]

Sigh...

bicolours are one of the hardest dwarves to keep. a few years ago, bicolours were thought to be impossible to keep. only now are hand caught/net caught specimens appearing, they stand a chance.

bicolours are almost always caught with cyanide a few years ago and this made it impossible to keep them as they are already difficult to begin with.

will be on hunting mode for rare angels and butterflies soon. lemme know what you're interested in.

i dunno about my angels now since i have not gone to iwarna, but judging from the health of the angels, they should be doing fine, if not feeding already. but dunno, they could also all be dead now

Haha only small tang to keep me going only this time.

waiting for the king of angels to be back! HAHAHA.
