They are Multibar angelfish (Paracentropyge multifasciata)-Kieth

 

[albano]

so you have a pair? what are they eating? where did you get them from. A favorite of mine, just never had any luck with them.

They are eating hikari mysis and rods food so far..i keep trying pellets and some flake but they are not quite there yet...yes they are a pair..they came from quality marine originally-Kieth

very nice multibars. Are they eating pellets yet? If not, a trick that has always worked for me with finicky centropyge is crushing the pellets with the bottom of a spoon. Then I drop the pellet "crumbs" in the quarantine tank and they usually take to them fairly quickly. good luck with those beauties, they look like they are off to a great start.

Nice fish.
The big one looks kind of thin in the stomach area. You many need to increase feeding.

They look great. I'm glad you got them to eat as mine never made it through qt as it just refused to eat. Good luck!

Thanks i may try that with the next fish i qt ..that sounds like a good idea

Yes getting them to eat was tough at first and they came in kind of thin but i feed heavy so they should fatten up.

TY! Yes i agree they can be tough to get to eat..i fed a ton in qt and did lots of water changes to keep up with my overfeeding..mixed brine and mysis was a good start-Kieth

Well i have a bit of bad news...I found the smaller of the two angels dead this morning.In the past i could look back and maybe second guess a few of the things i did but in this case i really cant.He seemed to be eating well and made it through qt with medications.I am actually not sure why this guy died all i can say is i did everything i could to provide a good enviroment for the fish.The bigger angel is doing well still and will continue to update on his progress-Kieth
