I always like to see your fish list, Peter. It makes me realize I need more fish in my aquarium. :lmao:

Send him to me, I was tempted to buy the one on DD and try to add it with my existing Chaetodon fasciatus
Could it be your lighting? Mine has held the same color for as long as I've had him, which has been quite a while.
Here are a couple pics with no camera flash (*sorry about the fous, I just uploaded the first 2 I took). Not the greatest color rendition, but you get the idea, especially compared to the yellow of the rock beauty....
And BTW this is under the Fiji purple bulb which really makes yellows and oranges pop. :-/

Hmm, yours is a little dark. I personally still really like that species but to each his own.
I don't know about yours but mine is a really active swimmer and hardly ever sits still.

I agree with all those things. My concern is that, IME, certain butterflies, when stressed, have their yellow parts tun dark. I've seen it particularly with falcula, melannotus, and now fasciatus. In the past, it was always easy to ID the stress (either a fish being harassed by, or harassing, the fish in question). I have not seen any aggression to or from the fasciatus. But I dunno.... they look like stress colors to me...
I want to see orange tones on bright yellow, like this:

Falcula for sure. When you posted its colors were dark, my first thought was it was being stressed as well. Could just be one of those species that doesn't handle the busyness of a tank that well. Kinda strange considering C. lunula usually does.
He fit right into the mix without issue. Actually a lot less shy than I was expecting. I tend not to have issues from the other angels. Those darn melanopus clowns are a whole other story though :uzi:
I usually use my Sony, because it has the largest lens of my point and shoot cameras, and the fish are always dashing around, and therefore difficult to photograph (well, difficult to make the photos be in focus
).Thanks, yeah, I'd say she's growing at a nice rate.
