Majestic angelfish

[danfrith]

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody knows where I might be able to find a juvenile majestic angelfish. I've searched many places and while the adult color form seems to be quite numerous I have yet to find a Majestic with Juvenile coloration. So again, does anybody know where I might be able to find one of these fish? Thank you.

I too have never seen one in the juvi form. I saw one at my lfs the other day, no more then 2" and was in adult colors, they change very early. It's crazy, and I had a 4.5" emperor that was just starting to change.

Nice! Can you post a pic? Does the LFS you got it from have a website?

I purchased the angel at reef hot spot and Max said they were sesonal. I will post a pic tonight.

I have had pretty good luck with keeping new fish. However, I have bought three Majestic Angel and wasn't able to keep them for longer than 3 weeks. :-(

I got my juvi from Reef Hotspot as well. He still has the juvi colors. Here's a bad shot of him from about a month ago:

I don't think they're WYSIWYG, but Max, the owner is great to work with. It would be worth it to tap out an email to him and see what he's got.

They also have a sponsor forum here on RC.
