Angry Sad day...

Well.. we were warned that our favorite fish might not quite get along with the corals.. and the warning is true. Amy and I must part with our Potters Angel. We have had this guy for over 2 years (considering most books and websites say the average time they thrive in captive environments is a few weeks - this is a pretty special fish!).

The picture does not do him justice.. bright orange and very deep blues!


If anyone lives near Central Ohio and is interested - we are open to trades

Re: Sad day...

Sorry to hear about your impending parting. Maybe you could set up a second fish only tank for him and some other destructive buddies .

Sorry to hear it. That angles is a very nice looking fish, and two years is a long time.

Well.. we are planning on setting up a 29 gallon FO tank later on. We have the tank and lights.. but.. there are lizards in the tank as we speak.. so.. can't move the Angel over there yet.

Re: Sad day...

I just need to find a home for the lizards.. shouldn't be too hard. I don't have any extra rock though for the other tank...

Re: Sad day...

I am sorry to read that Adrastos. Having to get rid of a fish for the good of the tank blows. I hope you can find a home for it. I couldn't with the trigger I had to get rid of.

If I may ask; I have a fire angel, is it ok with coral? They look very much a like shape wise.

Re: Sad day...

Someone correct me if I am wrong.. but.. I believe most Angels are not good with corals. Flame angels are omnivores (both plant and meat).. with corals I believe you should gear yourself towards an herbivore only.
