Juvenile/Adult Passer Angel FS/FT

[jet_jer]

My father-in-law decided to take his tank is a different direction, basically he wants to get some more passive/non-aggressive fish and needed to off-load the Passer. He gave him to me, but I really don't want it as I know its one of the most aggressive Angels - it's a beautifull fish, just very angry at something . I am looking ot either sell it for a fair price or trade for some softies/lps for my reef. I will accept offers and would like to find him a new home asap as he is in a 30 Gal right now and I'm sure he's not happy.

Just to clear up the age - its kinda mid aged by looking at pics - I know my father-in-law has had it for 3 years. By looking at pics its not a full adult yet doesn't have the coloring of a complete juvenile.

At the same time, last night I placed it in my 30G and fed brine shrimp/cyclopeeze (sp?) and it ate real good, is there something specific I need to feed it that it would like better?

Thanks,
jer

where are you located?

Located in Eden, NY (just south of Buffalo, NY) - but I woudl be willing to drive a little if meeting someone.

Liveaquaria lists the passer as reef safe with caution - I would do some searching here.

Pics will come later tonight as by the time I had him in the 30G last night it was almost 11:00pm and I didn't want to put bright lights on it.

Jer,

How big is the fish? Angels like vegies too. My angels eat lots of krill. Holocanthus species are not known to be very reef safe. I have a queen in my tank at the moment, doesn't touch anything other than zoas.

the Passer is about 5" long and about 3.5-4" tall.

Yesterday I bought some mysis and krill and he likes both, no problems eating at all.
