Sorry, I snagged him. He is in a 6' tank with 12 yellow tails damsels and a 2' Japanese dragon eel. Once he gets bigger, I might move him into my 8' tank.
Doing great, eating hours after arriving and swimming openly in front view and no aggression from the eel since I keep it well fed.

There are lots of caves since there are tons of LR in the tank. Watching them interact, the angel is not one bid afraid of the eel. the temperament of this particular eel seems to be pretty mellow so far.

So far, this fish is definitely timid. But looking great! The flash of the camera makes her look more juvi/striped than she is to the naked eye.

Beautiful girl. I've had a long-standing love affair with the Mac and the Asfur.

I've also experienced mean Asfur angels. Even small specimens can be quite belligerent IME.

A friend had a huge Mac, and it was dog tame. Super nice fish. Seems a lot of keepers share those same sentiments regarding Macs.

I hope mine gets more comfortable around me as she grows... she'll rarely eat from my hand, even though all the other fish do. Beautiful specimen in your avatar, BTW!

Sorry for the horrible out of focus picture, but this is what she looks like without camera flash

Still growing, he is a beautiful centerpiece of the tank. Doesn't care for any other Pomacanthus species, but otherwise, a gentle giant.

Great pictures! I'm thinking about adding a large angel to the mix after seeing yours. I'm leaning Chrysyrus, I've always wanted one. My butterfly town is more of an angeltown unfortunately.

How is the rest of the crew?

Also, what are you using to post pictures? Imgur?

Thanks! Some changes, for sure.... clowns are gone, as is the tusk(I think I already mentioned that) . The tinkeri got some weird bladder disease, I moved him to a QT, but he eventually died... really sucked. Though the Burgessi is fine with this :-D I have a big threadfin in QT. along with a tiny female lamark angel.

Had to bump these babies!
Not sure how I missed this last update, but omg, Peter, she is simply gorgeous! I have been staring at your pics and my fish trying to see your stunning fish, within mine. Lol, hasnt happend yet, I am still waiting for that "aha" moment. Mine seems to have "Peter Pan" syndrome, and is reluctant to become a full adult. She is huge but still showing subadult coloration.

Love these pics!

Ted
