[exomanic]

yeah it does look like a butterfly,thats one of the reasons why it caught my eye..but i have no experience with this particular angel and kinda worried haha

[dnsfpl]

mine accept prepared food pretty soon

iirc i introduce after flame, midnight and coral beauty

healthy specimen and luck is all you need

plenty of rocks for them to hide or hunt. Get a pair is better, you have a high chance of keeping one alive.

cheers

is there any special food u used to tempt it? like garlic soaked food or something? cos ive got 1 now for about 2 days in my quarantine tank but its apparently not showing any interest in brine shrimp or pellets, it just swims right past it

haha i understand but i dont dare to put in main tank yet, if it dont want prepared food it may end up like my sohal tang, pecking on live rocks only till it finally died of malnutrition

mysis with garlic guard

[exomanic]

im sorry but i gota ask, the garlic is use home one and mix with shrimp or must buy specially aquarium garlic food?

[bugattilambo]

You can blend the garlic and use the garlic juice to soak ur food.If not seachem has a product know as the garlic guard for you to soak your food in. Neither pellets or mysis but mostly done for frozen food. Some pellets are also formulated to have garlic inside.

depending on individual, some like to soak the frozen food over nigh.

ok thanks for the info ^^

Singapore Angelfish are generally shy like midnight Angel thus the difficulty in feeding them but not impossible. A healthy specimen is important as dnsfpl mentioned.

Singapore waters also have the six-barred angel and the blue-ringed angel. So there r 3 types of local angels.

Under the right environment, all three should be able to survive.

im not sure about six-barred, but ive kept blue ring angels before and they proved to be pretty easy to acclimate and feed ^^ but im having difficulties getting the singapore angel to even eat a bite of prepared food

The problem lies with getting a healthy specimen. Usually if the guy is okay, even 'off-limit' like the regal will start eating on day one. Angels

can't resist live artemia not to mention the frozen mysids.Ur fish's refusal to touch food spells bad news. My previous charges even go for market

Happy hunting.

A healthy specimen is very important. For fishes that are shy, you will need to spend more effort to ensure that they are feeding before releasing into your main display. The best place to do that will be a separate tank like quarantine.

[dnsfpl]

you need a fat healthy specimen so that it can "suffer" through the initial phrase

a matured tank with good water parameter and natural source of food, eg algae, pods, will greatly increase your success rate

my golden angel only nip on rocks for weeks, then after start taking pellets

cheers

correction.

the singapore angel is NOT found in Singapore.

i don't know why it has that name. but it's found in japan south to the philippines and also in papua new guinea.

singapore waters however, do have the blue ring angel. Pomacanthus annularis.

i dont want singapore angel.

i want the grey tail poliorus angel.

[M3Morph]

Nice fish! Seems like the only difference is the caudal fin that is yellow for Singapore Angelfish and grey for this new species. Wonder if its also as shy.
