watanabie angelfish?

cpittmx · 04/23/2010, 07:11 PM

LFS has a female watanabie. What a beautiful fish. I notice on liveaquaria that they classify this fish as difficult to keep. Any feedback on this fish and what the challenges are?

they do get large, and can be a bit of a challenge to acclimate to prepared foods. I've never really considered them too terribly difficult, though.

They are captured from much deeper waters than most other Dwarf Angels. Because of this, they're sometimes damaged, if not brought to the surface correctly. This damage can sometimes take a couple of weeks to manifest itself.

Other than that, they're great, totally reef safe and my pair ate like pigs!!

They are beautiful fish especially when kept as a pair.
