lol, could not agree more!
Humaguy,
I recently bought a couple angels myself (Lemonpeel and Flame Angels). I was wondering, when you QT your Angels, do you give them Cupramine? And if you do, do you follow the dosing instructions on the back of the bottle or give your angels just a partial or half dosage?
And when angels fight each other/nip at other angels fins, do you just separate the angels or do you separate them and give the injured/nipped fin angel any sort of medication?
Any feedback would be great, thanks!

go very, very slowly with cupramine...I do not follow the recommended dosage...I have done 10 drops and 15 drops p/d instead of their recommended 20 drops...keep testing...I also don't always go to their recommended 0.5 mg/l but stay below depending on how the fish are responding...
with regards to aggression-the qt are loaded with pvc pieces so there are lots of places to seek refuge, I keep the lights dialed way back or off when not in front of the tanks, and I feed several times a day, this helps keeps aggression down.
good luck!
So if I have them divided right now in a 20G tank, & yesterday I gave them 20 drops (as opposed to the recommended 40 drops) what would you suggest I give them tomorrow?
And when would you recommend removing the divider and letting the angels re-introduce themselves to each other?

I would dose half of half. So I dose via ml vs drops but say I need a total of 3m/l to reach my target dose of .40 cu then I dose .5ml each day until I reach the target.
If you require a total of 40 drops and your half way there I would slow down and do 5/ day until your at target levels. I run lower longer dose of .40 on angels which is just personal preference and have treated around 12 Angels.

I would do 10...if they are acting totally normal might do 15 but I go slow with cupramine and centropyge...

Remember, do not use Prime or any other ammonia binding agent when using cupramine...will wipe out your tank...
Oh no, I'm not using Prime or any other medication. Just strictly Cupramine. I did a 25% water change today, so I'll need to factor in the amount of drops take out of the water with how many I should add tomorrow (since tomorrow will have been 48 hours) My Lemonpeel swims all around and eats. My flame, hides in the PVC whenever I get anywhere near the tank, and he'll peck at the food, but he doesn't go crazy for the brineshrimp or any other food like the Lemonpeel does. Is this sounding like normal Flame behavior?
