Very nice! Your new mac looks like he is getting on well with the other fish! Has he been staying out in the open? Any issues aggression wise from the more established angels?

Hey Peter,

What camera are you using? Trying to narrow it down, and being tech-challenged I have no idea on what to decide on...

Thanks for the updated pictures! Looks like the scribbled has grown a bit since your first picture

He fit right into the mix without issue. Actually a lot less shy than I was expecting. I tend not to have issues from the other angels. Those darn melanopus clowns are a whole other story though

I usually use my Sony, because it has the largest lens of my point and shoot cameras, and the fish are always dashing around, and therefore difficult to photograph (well, difficult to make the photos be in focus ).

Thanks, yeah, I'd say she's growing at a nice rate.

Would you have any suggestions or advice on QTing a chaetodon pelewensis? I have a 30g QT tank. Should I use both Cupramine and Prazi? It will be going in with a Bellus Angel.

I would use both meds, but consecutively, not at the same time.

Ready to add some shimmer to the tank, and balance out the too blue and pink T5's!

The black line on the tail is the only difference, right?

From what I've seen the blue mask on true personifer males is not nearly as nice.

Someone is trying to sell me the following F. Personifer. Too bad I can't fit it with my scribbled angel in an 180g.

Is female personifer capable of becoming a male just like a scribbled angel?

Any idea if this is male or female? Or too early to tell before signs of gender becomes visible at around 7 to 8 inches? Thanks
