Looking for a Chrysurus...anyone know of a place?

Like the title says. In the market for a Chrysurus Angel. Anyone know of a good vendor that may have one available AND at a decent price :lol:
 
John- this was the place I immediately thought of when I read the post, seems they always have rare angels and at fairly good prices. Have you ever dealt with them? Good, bad?
 
I've spoken to Tom (the owner) a number of times yet have never pulled the trigger on an order as he's either been out of the fish or for other reasons. He seems to have good experience and know what he's talking about, but he can be moody and curt sometimes... no personal experience with receiving fish from him but the chrysurus would be a good start as they are pretty rock solid and that is the lowest price I've seen online... On the plus side he does receive the fish to his facility and is not a cherry picker who'll go shopping for you... I got my larger one locally and the smaller one as a small juvenile a few years ago from Liveaquaria for $130... he's now almost full adult... These are a great fish though...
 
Copps...gorgeous fish. How are they as a pair?
I was going to do two Emperors as I have an adult already and was all set for a juvenile, but it seems my Adult has just come down with something horrible. He won't eat and seems blind. Unreal, almost like he was poisoned (cyanide?) the way he's acting. Everything else is fine though.

Regardless, I was always looking to add a Chrysurus and this seems like an opportune time as my Emp was a big bully. I think I am going to give Tom a try.
Thanks for the link!!!!
 
Good luck... please post back in this thread with your experience...

The chrysurus are great... like puppies really, although they've been moved out of my display after picking on my corals more than I'm comfortable with... More motivation to get my large fish only going!
 
Thanks for the info John, I noticed you keep SPS (beautiful tank BTW) and angels together. I am planning to do an SPS tank and was wondering which angels left SPS alone in your experience. TIA.

Nocturnal, do let us know how your order goes!
 
Well, I ordered it what, Wed?
Shipped Thursday and received it this morning. Beautiful and thick and just as advertised. Couldn't have had better service!

Let's hope he survives the wrath of my French Angel ugh.
I covered half the tank to give him refuge in darkness. Hope it works. It has in the past when I add angels
