I thought I would start a thread to document my experience with the breathtaking multibar angelfish. As of now there is a pair coming to me from Kevin Kohen at Diver's Den. Kevin, if you are reading this, I owe you a big thank you to obtaining a pair of these beauties for me! They are currently in Minneapolis for shipping and should arrive tomorrow morning. Upon arrival they will be acclimated to a 20g long QT tank where a small pair of Picasso clownfish and a single male orchid dottyback are right now (just transferred from a 10g QT to the 20 this afternoon). I've found that multiple fish help in acclimation of new fish. This was noted with increased curiosity by a C. deborae with the addition of a McCosker's flasher as well as when the lone male orchid became more curious and ate more when I added a pair of clowns with him in QT shortly after getting him. Knowing that multibar angels are shy and cryptic to start I hope the other fish will serve as dithers.
My plans with this pair of fish is to house them in a 65g soft coral reef tank along with the Picasso clown pair and an orchid dottyback pair I have in another QT tank. I'll likely have a couple other fish pairs in this tank after I have all the fish I currently have to the display (months from now). This aquarium will be dedicated to housing breeding pairs of fish that I can try my hand at successfully breeding. Angelfish are my ultimate goal and focus. Though not likely, success with the multibars could lead to prospects of peppermints in the future? I'll leave this as dream until there is physically a pair of those treasures in my care.
Anyways, pictures to come tomorrow after I get them acclimated! As a side note, I would like to allow others to share their experiences with C./P. multifasciata in addition to my upcoming journey with them. If you have one or multiples, please share your experience!
