This is the fish that got my interested in this hobby. I've read the thread on RC in and out twice. Pure Reef had three beautiful ones in all eating pellets and frozen foods. He will blow the food off the sand bed and eat it. I'm sorry for the crappy video I was still shaking. This was a birthday present that was LONG over due.:D

EDIT: No idea why I have two videos posted.

No video posted... there's "screen" but no vid.

Sorry, try now.

Cool!

He's pretty :)

Congrats and happy birthday!

good pick up. I have seen them at george's for a while when he got the first pair in and had to pry myself out the door to keep from getting one. Good luck with him and happy reefing.

Jorge is a stand up guy with an amazing store. I wish him nothing but the best of luck. I was up there last weekend and had to do what you said. My girlfriend wanted him more than I did. Went back yesterday with Rostato, it was my birthday and I couldn't walk out twice. Jorge was more than willing to feed them again. I knew they were eating from my last trip to the store.:lol2:I will get a better video tonight!!!!

great fish maple - streamer still in tact and everything! I bought one my first 3 mo in the hobby....bad mistake on my part, I didnt realize this fish was an "expert" hobbyist fish and he ultimately perished....I still dont know the cause but ate fine but one day just died... :sad:

I've done tons of research on him. Hopefully that doesn't happen to me.

Thanks dude, I couldn't have done a lot of this without your help. I was watching him last night and was freaking out when he got near them. Needless to say, the vortech guards will be going on tonight.

Thank you Cory. It was great meeting you saturday.

yup yup, enjoyed our chats. now off to midtown for my turtle beach headphones.

Great find Chris. That fish is so beautiful. I need a few in my tank.

MUCH better videos of him:

Time to fatten him up now!!!! He was eating ALL day yesterday. I fed him as often as I was looking at the tank. Needless to say he always had food. LOL

Beautiful!! Just make sure he STAYS well fed. These guys are rather notorious for up and starting to work on corals after a bit.

One of my favorite fish as well!!!! :up:

I recall you and I discussing that a while back when I asked you for your opinion on him. Day one and he's yet to find my beautiful, neon green candy cane frag.:lol2:

EDIT: And that really means a lot coming from somebody with so many awsome fish.

I'm kind of scared to ask which brand you're using; it's probably a yearly salaray for me.http://i46.tinypic.com/xmlh1c.jpg

His streamer is at least 6" long. I can't get him to stay still long enough to try and measure it. LOL

Sweet. Same one I was checking out in the Foster & Smith catalog yesterday. Is yours the one that will feed four times a day?

I have two. One that will feed two types of feed, and one that has a drum that turns.

I have this one as well. It's got two different chambers for holding food and each can be set up to feed three times a day. I've fed pellets, flake, and freeze dried mysis and they all work well. Personally, I have each chamber filled with the same food type and have it set to feed six times a day just a little bit. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has fish that should be fed several times a day and can't do it personally.

And very nice fish! I am jealous.:up:

Thank you Brett! Now to find a 180g.:D

that is one outstanding fish!! Nice purchase. I've seen them at Jorge's for several weeks now, so I am sure it is in good health. In addition Jorge, Angela and the crew at Pure Reef rock.

When you go to Pure Reef again pick up one of my business cards that are on their counter. If you know of anyone needing pet care or pet sitting my business card has all of my information on it. :-)

Keep us posted on the progress of the fish.

Nothing like paying more for shipping than you spent in food. LOL

Smoothie pointed me in this direction. I seen a lot of people talking about it on the Primer thread on RC so I took his advice. *cross fingers* He's still eating pellets. (not as many as I would like, but he is still eating, thank God.) Hopefully he will get a taste for this being it's got sponge blended into it.

I think they have that at Marine Designs.

Thanks for the heads up. But, after gas and all the added expenses, I would still be in the same price range. Next time I am in that area I will be stocking up though.

What all are you feeding your angels?

a million different things, including that. They dont eat it. Its got little bloodworm looking bits in it, and nothing eats them. Except maybe the bristleworms. I wont buy it again.

Wait, Im mistaken I think. I think Im thinking of Hikari Angel forumla. The ON cubes, I do feed from a big 2 pound multipack. So I feed realistically all types of ON formula cubes.

You scared me for a second. LOL

I have been using it for awhile and just learned you can wet one side of it and the cube will stick to the glass. Jeremy is right. Mine did not like the hikari either

I rotate rocks out of my sump, so my angels can eat natural sponges

A cryptic fuge could also come into play when needing sponges. Meh just a thought to throw out there. The gel based have worked well with the powder blue and flame angel though. Haven't tried an idol yet. Still debating on whether to add one of those guys or a bluethroat with the upgrade

Well as soon as the food hit the water, he went nuts. He was taking the big pieces from the clowns mouths. Ha

Here is a good video of him at dinner time. I am feeding twice-three times a day on average to try and fatten him up. His little belly is starting to get bigger so hopefully he will look like one of Jeremey's overweight tangs/angels. haha

If i see another photo or movie with that stupid clip still stuck in the back I'm gonna smash your tank with a hammer, He is eating alot better

Hahaha. It is still there too. He's always ate like that.:confused2:

Looking good! I've heard these are very hard to keep, but he seems happy & healthy - hoping for the best.

That is a real nice fish, good luck with him!

and now Rit is posting a couple for sale, this is hard....
