Cool! Even if you have no intention to raise the larvae I still think it is cool to have spawning fish. Also Centropyge angels will spawn every night. I always see these threads asking if people can keep different dwarf angels together, but IMO I would rather have a pair. I mean once they accept each other there is little to no aggression and they spawn every night! Which if your not raising them it just becomes good fish food and its fun to watch.
A few pics of my Centropyge argi pairs.

You may find this to be of some interest. I found it a very good read.

Well the semester is coming to an end and I am sorry I have no exciting news. I have to go home for the summer and hopefully they will be alive and well in the fall. I had a hard time getting in the lab when I needed because I am not allowed to have a key.
BUT I will be living off campus next semester and should be able to give it a much more serious go. And I am pretty confident I will be able to report some good news then
So look for some updates in the fall!

Look forward to you coming back Tim, I thoroughly enjoyed this thread and the info/pics you provided :thumbsup:
Well I'm back at school and thought a few picks would be necessary.
These pics only show one pair. Two pairs made the summer and the male of the other pair survived, so I have 5 angels left and I may pair the other angel with another species or another argi we will see.
I moved this pair home with me and the others will come too (I am off campus now and can have fish tanks at home!!) as soon as I finish drilling the rest of my tanks... These are in a 29 gallon bio cube.
These pics show both fish:

And here is one of the female, she needs a little fattening up and I need to get light timers and then they should be spawning again.
Overall I am surprised and happy that 5 out of 6 made it. I would say that it saved me money but knowing me I will blow it on some more fish sometime :rollface:
Enjoy.

You should be encouraging this guy not calling him out.

Awesome!!! Those are some nicest argi"s I have ever seen. Hopefully you didn't get your nose broken because of drinking too many of those green bottles in the above pictures........Tim
:lol: That was not the case, I play a lot of basketball and that is how it happened.
I believe the longest so far with this species is day 9 and my longest was day 6, so I have some work to do, but this year I will be working at home instead of in the lab, so hopefully that will help my chances.
One other thing that is interesting is how much yellow these fish have. And the fact they have so much yellow reveals a dark blue spot right behind the gill, just like C. fisheri and C. flavicauda. Whenever I look at them I see it and am constantly reminded of C. fisheri. I mean some think all these type of pygmies are one species...
