550 gallons deep display from Lebanon

I have been traveling quite a lot lately. Since I'm home I thought I would post a few photos of the fish

Magnificent Foxface, I always loved this fish and these guys have been together since the beginning. They do have the occasional flare but it ends there without any chase or nip.





A few of the single helfrichi







No only if I could pair him. Unfortunately this fish is almost never available here, and would be very very difficult to replace. I would not take the risk of having a war between them and loose them both even of the opportunity arises.
 
Very nice. Growth shots of angel really cool.

Thank you! Have regretted not doing the same for my blueface. She was moved into this tank late September 2012 but had been in my care for 18 months since and had also a full transformation from juvenile colors to being the absolute grunting boss of the tank.

When transferred





a year later



now



 
Latest addition! H. tricolor





I would have never thought so, but my male potteri has been the most aggressive fish towards juvi angels. He harassed my Goldflake, and had to turn off the lights for 2 days until things settled. Then turned on only half of the lights in the tank (opposite side where the GF would hide).

The situation seems to be even worse with the Rock Beauty.

A few photos of the potters on that note!









Getting borderline obese!



These 2 spawn every single night! I have been trying to get a video but it is always after lights off.
 
That male potter has amazing color. I love the Potter but everyone I have purchased ends up with some disease while in QT and just can't kick it when medicated.
 
You have a mated pair of Potter Angel fish that spawn every night? Amazing. I never heard of any captive bred. Would love to see a video, I think that would be great for the reefing community.

Thx dotcommer! I guess I have been lucky with those two! I bought the smallest I could find (around 1 1/4") and within a month they were already a pair, with the male outgrowing the female and getting much darker in color.

Very nice!!!

Thank you!

very nice blueface... one of my favorite angels

Thx, one of my favorites too, I just wish I took photos when I first got it to document the full transition like I did with the chrysurus.

Sorry missed that earlier, not breeding attempts! I have tried to make a video of them for a while now. They nuptials start after lights off! I promise I will keep on trying.

Try to watch it in 1080p, and put the volume down, it is just kids screaming!
 
Id have to say that I am not truly a large angel fan but your angels are healthy and look good.

Thx Newbie, one of the things I enjoy the most in this hobby is growing fish from juvies, not to mention my penchant towards angels and butterflies! Wrasses are also growing on me!
