anyone have an emperor angel?

i am looking to eventually get one for my 210g and was wondering if they are a difficult fish? I asked a lfs and they wont sell them bc they say they always die, is this true? are they very sensative? any info would be greatly appreciated.

they're the same thing as an imperator right? I'd had one before... extremely hardy, had to give it away while it was in the middle of changing.

yes, the same thing. thanks
except I was going to buy an adult becaus i thought i read somewhere that if they change while in captivity that they don't look as good as a wild caught adult.

i read that too actually... something to do with the nutrients in the food. See them change is awesome though. But either way, they're really nice fish. Good luck with yours!
