Juvenile Blueface

[NuTom]

Thought it was about time i share a few pictures on RC.


Here's my very very small Juvenile Blueface Angel. He's been in quarantine for close to 6 weeks now. Currently feeding on Nori and NLS pellets. I have a schedule for feeding, about 10 pellets in the morning 5pm he get a sheet of nori and before i sleep he get 10 more pellets. I plan on leaving him there for maybe another 2-3 months or until i feel he can defend from the other 3 beast(Koran, Blue Angel and my Bluethroat trigger)


These pictures are of him at 2 weeks in QT. He's a little bigger now and has a little yellow at the top fins.

Eating seaweed by his home

Damn reflection

Ooops how did you get in here. Blue Angel when he was in QT.


I'll try to post a few current pictures of him and his big ol round belly but he's just so hard to get a good one of.

In MY QT

Well i'm in a picture mood today.

Here's a picture of my prized koran about 2.5 years ago. Yup blueface is now in that QT lol. I never shut down that tank.

This is him last year

Once again i'll post a updated picture sometime soon of the Koran. He's currently in the changing phase.

Very nice Damascus can't wait until my changes. He's only at about 1.25" right now LOL.

Nice fish! I love bf angels! Hope to get one someday. Nutom, any recent shots of the koran? As full adults, I think they are gorgeous.

Agreed I have one in my mixed reef and they are awesome. He is housed with an Annularis.

Very nice pics NuTom. You don't see near as many juvi blueface as juvie emps or korans, and I've always wondered why? Your little koran looks great too...like DPS I think they are highly undervalued as adults. Got any recent pics?

Damascus, your blueface looks great too. What are you keeping him with, etc.?

Great looking fish there peeps!

Sorry guys/girls wife just bought me a camera last Christmas but i really don't like it. I find that it takes very bad pictures compared to my old camera. Can't really get a good picture of the blueface. I'll try some more on the weekend.

Here's a picture of the Koran last week

My Niger trigger

Here's one of my first fish around 3.5 years old. Was sold to me as a female because he didn't have a bluethroat at the time of purchasing. I find him very aggressive. Has bite me a few times. Have a cool picture of him moving a piece of rock but i can't find it at the moment.

My Purple Tang he now has HLLE do to treating with copper. That's a picture of my tank when it was a reef before adding that Koran who wiped out everything.

Its in QT right now. I had a major crash in my 90 right after I bought him. I almost left the hobby. Killed my entire tank. I spent a little more than I should had on him but its keeping me happy. I plan on a flame angel maybe a foxface, two black clowns and whatever else I can think of. I had a niger, humu humu, blue spotted puffer, when my tank crashed. I had just sold my female blue throat and went and bought the blueface. The next day all fish were dead. Before the tank police come in all fish were under 3 inches and I just bought a home and plan on a 240 or a 300 gallon build.

Here's an older pic of my juvi blueface. It's really hard to get a new pic. He hides all of the time & when he does venture out he's so fast I can't get a decent pic. It hasn't change at all in the 4 months I've had it. My favorite angel hince my user name.

 

[Damascus]

do you have the tank in a high traffic area?

 

[NuTom]

Nice blueface blface. <---- that sound weird lol.

Really your blueface has stayed the same for 4 months?
I have heard of them changed to adult form within 5 months.

 

[blface]

I'll try & get an updated pic but if it's changed any I would be surprised.

If my math is right, mine took about 15 months to fully change from juvi colors to adult colors. Granted mine was pretty darn small when I got it.

thanks for documented progress on the juvi blueface.

My BF looks about your 9/4 mark.

Very nice!

 

[Kristinensky]

Awesome, his face almost looks neon in some of the pics.

Here are some updated pictures from last Sunday. It's close to 7 weeks since i've had him. As you can see he's growing fast. He was less then an inch when i bought him 7 weeks ago and now he's about 1.75".


I see you
