Flagfin Angel

[Shaummy]

Hey all,

Anyone know the sensitivity/keeping of Flagfin Angels? I bought a fairly large specimin a week ago, and at first he got picked on alot by my bully maroon clown.

I took the clown to LFS, and the angel had been swimming normally and eating night before last.

I came home tonight and the angel was stone cold dead. I can't figure out what would have done him in like that, unless the stress of his inital introduction messed with his metabolism or something.

Are these angels particularly sensitive? I feel so bad that he's gone, and don't want this to happen to anything else I add.

The bluethroat trigger seems to be doing perfectly fine.

Shaummy, I'm not familiar with that particular angel, but this site may be able to help you:

Thanks Boyd.

That certainly says it's difficult to feed in captivity, but that was the weird thing...he was eating Angel formula and Formula II flakes.

Just a shock.

Thanks for the site..I have bookmarked it for the future.
