A discussion about lush fish

Post by flynix »

just got my hands on a stunning golden angel, currently acclimating her to her new home. She was a bit pricey at £2, but trust me, she's worth every penny - one of my all-time favourite angels, I must say. Will get some pics up once she's fully settled.

For £2, that's a steal... where's your LFS at, flynix? We're all making a beeline for that place now, lol...

Just got a steal of a deal, all the fish must go, indeed. Absolute bargain if you ask me. Fingers crossed she'll settle in smoothly, but I know she might be shy and a bit tricky to feed - took the risk, though. Hoping she'll get along with my future LPS corals too.

You've got a right gem there, mate. Nice snag, and what a steal at that price. Good luck with it settling in, hope it goes smoothly for you, and fingers crossed it gets along with your future additions.

Blimey, £2 is a steal. I paid a pretty penny for mine, £65 to be exact. Few things I've learned that might help you out, mate. They're not too fond of bright lights, so you might wanna dim yours for a bit. And, yeah, they can be pretty shy for the first few months, so be patient.

As for food, they love mysis and brine shrimp, but algae's not really their thing, though it's always worth a shot. Just be aware they're super sensitive to salt levels and copper treatments, so keep an eye on that. And, definitely avoid housing them with fast-moving or boisterous fish, they'll just end up hiding all the time.

Give 'em plenty of hidey-holes, they're shy and love to jump, so a hood's a must. Just thought I'd share me experience, hope it helps, mate.
