Conspicuous angelfish

[Dmorty217]

What's been your experience with Bandits in a reef?

I kept a Conspic in a reef when I lived in Las Vegas without any problems. The fish was more like a puppy, would follow me back and forth in front of my 450. It ate just about anything, even bubble algae.

What happened to the Conspic?

What happened to the Conspic?

Lost him in a Poker game!

I made some changes to my aquascape and he obviously did not like it. I found him dried out on the floor in my fish room. Only thing I can figure out is that he got trapped on top of some rock by the overflow and flipped himself out of the tank. It was a 450 gallon tank and not heavily stocked. I had him for 2-3 years at that point. I was really bummed. I now live in Charlotte with a pair of identical 220's.

Wow, that sucks Im sorry to bring that up again for you... Conspics are at the top of the list of favorite fish for me. Did you get her from a place locally, or how did you get get her?

From his video, the wholesaler is Quality Marine.

I think he is referring to Vegasmikes Conspic.

Now if Kentucky can stop having a blizzard I can get my fish.

Will not be in now till Saturday.

Are you going to QT him ?

 

[RDtrack]

Yes but I don't know how long. I'm going to do observation more or less and get him eating food before I add him to my DT.
I've heard they can be sensitive to meds like most angels. So if he is healthy and eating like a bull it might be quicker.

I've learned my lesson in the past.

That a bummer but better safe than sorry. Hurry up and wait

Is tomorrow the day?

 

[bubblewood]

Excited to see the little guy! I will be there at Noon!!!

 

[RDtrack]

I'm as nervous as a lark. But I think I'm ready. Here is Qt all ready for the new arrival. I ended up going out and purchasing a 37 gallon tank. It's on a metal Menard shelf that is rated for 350 pounds. The second worry.

As you can see it is not exactly level and not filled to the top. I'm probably leave it that way to.

 

[RDtrack]

Yes tomorrow at noon. Confirmation that Ups is handling him / her with care. I'll post a pic tomorrow when I get her /him.

 

[Dmorty217]

Looking forward to it

I've only kept Bandits personally, but can concur that they're more like a puppy dog than a random fish. Wonderful species

Very True. My favorite fish, getting close to 5 years now.

Standing in the store first pic. She is truly a beauty. Maybe 4.5 at max. Enjoy first pic.

I guess she is keeping up with the local news.

Tried to get the ruler she is definitely under 5 inches.
