Pretty fish are like pretty women, typically never cheap but usually worth the money,time and effort:thumbsup:

Thanks! Sorry to always ask you so many questions That answered my question. Have a good weekend.

No problem. If I can help just one person on here it's worth it IMO.

Only 3/8" difference in size between BF and ANN? FYI Holiday shipping can be tricky?

Yeah, I saw that too. But I do have a chance to get a juvenile for much cheaper. Gonna see how that goes first. I'll see about the annularis order today. Going to call in an hour or so when DD opens.

Just placed my order! What a little cutie. Only 1 3/8" so it'll be in QT and then my lagoon for several months. Supposed to ship tomorrow and arrive Weds. Still another one left if anyone else wants it. :0)

I have always been a huge fan of annularis angels so I'm pretty excited to get this little one. Gotta set up the TTM tank today... well, just need to fill one of them. Waiting for my shipping notification this afternoon. Excited to welcome it tomorrow, provided that all goes as expected.

I bought a juvenile cb annularis 2 years ago. Its adult pattern is alot different than the typical blue ring. Anyone else's do this. Got it from live aquaria. Thanks

Mine is changing already at about 3". Growth rate is tremendous. I'll let you know how the pattern looks. Snap a pic of yours and post it!

Probably right. Still, not sure I'd trust myself with that expensive of a fish just yet. Odd it may sound but I still don't have the greatest QT skills thus me adding fish at a very slow rate. Will be interesting to see what my 240 will look like stocked because I'm struggling to find a decent stocking list that is reasonably priced. I'm guessing the 6 fish I'm moving will think they won the lotto with all the new space (and they are all tiny fish - mated clowns, azure damsel, pj cardinals, and algae blenny - lol).

Then again, maybe I can ask my better half to forgo a nice bottle of wine or two and buy me a pretty fish instead :hmm2:

It took me about a year to become confident in my QT skills... lost a few fish along the way due to beginner mistakes. It will eventually become second nature.

Uh oh! Just ordered a juvenile blueface angel from DD. 2 3/8" and still fully juvenile. I'm sure it'll begin transformation shortly after I receive it. It's just about the perfect specimen with respect to its size and pattern. Should work out very well.

The annularis is showing a crazy amount of adult pattern already! Going to rig an acclimation box this week and get him into the display asap!
