want to buy a golden pygmy angel

rpjaws74 · 04/03/2011, 12:31 PM

Looking for feed back from fellow hobbyists that have kept one of these angels long term and those who have not had much success. I have a 500 glln with very little fish but do have a flame angel and a 2 week old clown trigger.My lighting consists of 2 mh (400 w ) in the center so still not very bright as you would imagine. My ph is kinda high running at a consistant 8.6 but have tons of live rock and space to call his own. I have a big chiller so water is at a set temperature 78 degrees. Im not new to the hobby but i hear they are not easy fish to keep so would like to hear some succes stories. Also they are selling it for $110 what you guys think.

mine is about 5 years old now, and it is the boss of the tank.

You are going to have a problem, however, finding ANYTHING to house long term with a clown trigger. It WILL eventually kill off everything else in your tank. Thats just the way they are.

and when available, they are about $60 here.
