Nine peppermint angels!!!!

Ted- Did you notice any tell tale signs on your peppermint that may indicate issues with how the fish was decompressed? I am curious as to why these fish seem to be fading out so quickly. Possible infection from needling? Sorry for your loss.

In my experience with 4 1" juvenile regal angel they like to graze first but once the acclimated well the will start to eat prepared frozen food

If they are grazing and they are fat I think it will be fine.
 
My hats off to the guys who bought these fish. Very few have ever been kept in captivity and their captive care regiment is still somewhat unknown. If you consider the difficulty in caring for other paracentropyge species like the multibarred it is a major risk to try one of these guys regardless of cost. Your experiences will go along way in gaining more knowledge on the husbandry dos and donts of these amazing fish so you should consider yourselves pioneers regardless of the outcome. To me this is what reefing is all about and mad props go out to all of you who own one of these amazing little fish.
I hope to be able to see chingchais once its settled in.
 
It seems like the pep in Orlando is doing well and eating a variety if food. Looks like someone also bought it but it's being held at the store until the new owner is ready for it.
 
This is very disappointing to read, but the other Paracentropyge are really difficult to get eating consistently to start with,. My multibar is much , much more picky and slow than say a regal angel. The trouble with this fish is that the price tag kind of means that the price of failure seems pretty painful.

It shouldn't be the case that the loss of a 10K Paracentropyge should mean more than a 50 dollar multibar, but I guess it makes some difference to most people

both Venustus and Mulitibar have very poor track record of surviving...and they are not even so called 'deep water' dwellers..collected in hundreds and thousands...paracentropyge is quite difficult genus...
 
According to Mr. Rufus's website his fish are naturally decompressed. No needles.
