Doc's Shark Tank

[Doc]

Here are a few pics of him acclimating







I dropped him in the tank after a few minutes and he swam for the rocks. The other two angelfish all but ignored him for about an hour. They decided to scare him into the shark for a fun, torturous game and then the chasing began. They all ran around the tank for about 30 minutes and took a break to eat. They seemed to have calmed down after I shut off the lights. I am hopeful they will leave him alone tomorrow until I can get the emperor into the tank and they have a new fish to chase.

I added more live rock from the sump to create more hiding places for the Asfur. He took full advantage of them.

I found him willing to fight back after he found a place to call his own, which was a good sign. He is no pussy. But I fear he may be too small for the shark, which means he might end up as a $100 meal for squishy....dammit. Well, who knows. Here are a few more pics of the Asfur angelfish. I have always wanted one and have never known anyone to have one so I feel special for now.

their coloration ins striking. I am impressed with him. The face is a glowing black color and deep purple everywhere else. I sure hope he makes it. He was interested in food the first time I put it in and that was a good sign.




After he noticed the new angelfish, the Koran started to stress out a bit and swim aggressively. He has really started to change coloration. I am hopeful his colors will be full adult before the end of the year. It seems to take him SO long to change. It is kinda pissing me off since I am not the most patient man on earth......LOL




So that is my update for now. I doubt I will get the emperor in the tank tomorrow. It will likely be saturday night...whether he is done with Ich or not.....OK maybe not, but it sounded good. I just hope he gets over it soon. I hate waiting!!!

Just checked on the Asfur, and so far, so good. He is happily swimming around the tank not being eaten by the shark. I have been worrying all night and now I can sleep...

WOW those fish are absolutely beautiful! I hope the best of luck for them.

I am hoping everything works out. I hope all the kiddies play nice together. I hold onto a three day rule. If after three days they are doing ok together, I stop worrying.

Doc, that's freakin awesome! An ab solutely beautiful angel. I know what you mean about the face being black opposed to the purple body. I love it. How big is the angel?


Doc, I am JEALOUS about the koran he seems to be changing even much more than the last pic I saw. I can't wait for mine to start changing. I absolutly love the juv coloration, but the transforing process is awesome.... Haha I just thought of something when I said transforming process, next juv angel I own I am going to name optimus prime!!!!!

Doc I think you and I have the same patience level, sorry for last night

The Ansfur is gorgeous and its great that he is willing to fight back at least that gives him a decent chance. Gorgeous fish, hopefully the Emperor makes it through everything AOK. Good luck and thanks for being patient with me.

he is about 3 inches long. The pics were rushed and just dont do it justice. He really is an incredible looking fish. I honestly hope he doesn't get eaten. If that emperor looks even remotely better today, his ass is in the tank. I may want to add more rock tho. I want them to feel safe and well. Yeah. LOL.
