my imp could care less about Discosoma spp. in my aquarium.
I imagine it would be the same for Ricordea spp.- especially since they're very toxic.

IME many people that own one do not realize their fish is stunted.
If they are aware, it's also my experience that people don't like to show off stunted fish Fenner gives some good advice regarding Emperor Angelfish. This isn't a beginner's species.

Merry Christmas everyone
I'll reply to more questions in greater detail later (it's Christmas) but Nate- you have a nice Emperor. It's very important at this point in time to keep it well fed with good foods. Keep the water quality up, too. This is important in order for your fish to develop to it's fullest potential.
The bright neon green corals are called "green star polyps" (or GSP's for short) in the reefkeeping hobby. They encrust rockwork and are very easy to maintain. There are several similar looking species and the type that I have is probably the brightest green. (I have others that are less brilliant.) I'm glad you liked the video. Korrine- don't purchase an Emperor until you're fully ready. They aren't "rare" by any means. It's most important to prepare for one beforehand- avoid impulse purchases

This guy had a Emperor in his tank. Was sooo beautiful. Unfortunately, it doesn't show in any of his pics on this page.
I'll try to remember what I saw in his tank when I was there: he had all kinds of sps, an anemone (rbta, I think), soft corals. I can't remember any lps. He had a beautiful tank. Been well over a year since I've seen it. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...098961&page=14 edit...I see Dec 2008 pic has the Emporer swimming around. When I was there it always stayed under the rock structure on the right. It was very open under there.

after 6 weeks or so "Nate" my emperor angelfish, hasn't nipped eating or bothered any corals, he nipps and the LR and the sponge growth on them and is changing nicely- not sure how long until he turns into an adult as i purchased his when he was starting to change, but the colors are very vibrant and he looks very healthy to me. I feed him well and a variety of diet-Nori every day for him and the tangs 1 sheet,and 3-5x a week frozen prepared foods with garlic and zoe and vitamin C.
I just purchased a 4 inch ball sponge -red so far he has not nipped at it or touched it he swam by it a few times but he leaves it alone, when i get in a tree sponge that will be the ultimate test, i think i trained him to eat his diet i care for him and watch him all the time and feed him alot and my tank is very established with tons of caves and LR with so many growths on the LR sponges crustacians etc.. feather dusters coraline algae. I have many LPS corals he hasn't bothered them, and the only SPS corals I have i nthis tank are Montiporas (encursted) and various colors- which he leaves alone for the most part. even the purple sponge and red and orange sponge on the large rock filled with ricordea florida corals he hasn't nipped at. so "nate" is a good boy or girl lol. now when "nate" become an adult might be a different story and thats why you have to be prepared as if he acts up with all my aussie LPS corals he will go straight to the 240 FOWLR tank and enjoy his time with a bit more aggresive fish. for now my tank list is 150 gallon RT Nate-emperor angelfish 2 mating clowns 3.5" female 1.5" male (the odd couple) 3 yellow tangs 1 powder blue tang 1 tuxedo damselfish |

IME "popeye" can easily be reversed with good diet and excellent water conditions. Eliminate any stressors.

I have an emperor angel, I bought it as a juv that was changing. I've had him for about 1.5 -2 yrs. He's in *way* too small of a tank now, but I am upgrading to a 210G (build is just starting). I'd like to go back to reef (he's the only fish in the tank now), but I'm afraid he might be too aggressive and significantly restrict my coral possibilities. I have been considering taking him back to the LFS for credit but would love to keep him in the new tank. I have thought about a QT for awhile, then moving him to the new tank after adding some other inhabitants first?
Any advice? |
