reefslugs,
your current group of Angels, and the new addition, are all wonderful choices and excellent looking specimens, but I'm definitely happy to see some love for the Golden (centropyge aurantius). One of them, and the Multicolor, shall be my first Centropyge specimens added to my aquarium, hopefully followed by a Colini.

Nice pick-up reefslugs!

Do you still have the bandit and blueline?

You have (/have had) some amazing angels

Thanks everyone for the nice complaments. As far as the golden angel goes, he was the third one I tried to keep. The first two never would eat. Then the third guy I got ate good, but they are very shy. The only time I saw him was when I was feeding. I beleave that these fish should be in a small tank, with no other swimming fish and dim lighting. They are beautiful!

Yes, they are certainly not used to bright lighting, so they'll do better if introduced to a quarantine tank first and allowed to adjust to some medium lighting a bit before going in under something like halides or abundant T5's. They can live in an SPS tank, but most of the time they behave cryptic during the entire photo-period. I'm hoping that with using LED spotlighting, rather than illuminating the entire tank evenly, I should have pretty active behavior from deeper water specimens.

Just thought I'd post a pic update on the Multibar because I know they have a bad rep in captivity. Now in the main tank 13 months on, still eating well, fingers crossed it looks happy in the much more brightly lit environment.

Just missed focus on these shallow DoF shots which was frustrating...:

Here is a not great picture of my 2 potters.
The larger is about 2.75 in. and I've had for 6 months and the other is 2 in. and I've had for 5 months.
There is some nipping of the smaller by the larger but they dance together in the upper tank at dusk.

Here is the only Angel currently residing in my display




The 453nm + 403nm Stunner Strips really do wonders for the colors on him & my butterflies. Hopefully the upcoming additions I have coming in will go smooth.

They look great - how long have you had them? My first attempt at keeping a Golden only lasted around 2 weeks - it didn't eat very readily, and eventually wound up bloating a bit before passing My first Venustus arrived DOA, and the replacement was eating within 24 hours, and got along very well from the get-go.. but after 4 days, it dove into some rocks & never came back out (though zero signs of external parasite/disease). I will try another Venustus later, but I'd like to find a Colini first.. but have yet to see any available for many months.

They look GREAT together, zero compatibility issues upon introduction? Very nice! I can't wait to get my GF... waiting probably another month before I try to introduce a GF and Bandit. I did try to order a really small juvenile Flagfin to accompany my current one, but it didn't show up well, maybe next week.

I just received a Golden, and juvenile Majestic yesterday - both acclimated very smooth & are residing in my fuge. I'll definitely update with pictures after they begin eating well, and make their way to the display tank. I'm also anticipating some more Angels to arrive this week.

Great photos, Carlos! I'm trying to obtain all my larger Angels in juvenile colors, so that I may do the same after a year or two It's nice to watch them change, isn't it?

The intro went very smooth but this could be due to the huge size difference between the two. I never had it this easy when pairing Meredithi, Bluelines and Bandits.

Don't worry, besides the hardship of my wallet/income, fear & caution are enough to keep me from trying to purchase TWO Meredithi, Blueline, or Bandit Angels

Sadly, the day after we placed our order this week, the stockist received some juvenile Bluelines! I'm going to try my hardest to order one next week, if they have any..
