Paracentropyge multifasciatus questions.

Here is one of my two. They are fairly shy fish, but are getting along together. No signs of coral nipping yet either...so that is a bonus.

Absolutely gorgeous fish,

I use to collect angels at one point and I had a Multi Barred due to its beauty, the one thing that was never mentioned (maybe I overlooked) was that this is a very delicate fish and not at all hardy. This fish does not acclimate well in captivity and does not accept food readilly. Please keep us updated months from now. Every specimen is an individual and everything is hit or miss. Hope you have plenty of luck with yours.

COPPS- I enjoy seeing your tank and the specimens you have in it. I am not shocked at all that you have had one of these guys in your tank for soo long. Great Job. Everything you put in that tank should thrive.
 
Update.
I finally got a fairly decent picture of the two angels together. They are very interesting to watch especially when the actinics are on. They dance around each other and gently rub on each other. This behavior only happens when the actinic lights only are on. Otherwise the swim around the tank picking at live rock pretty much all day. I have not yet seen them pick at any corals or clams.
Anyway...here is the picture.

I imagine most people buying Paracentropyge angels have consulted S. Michael's book on angels & butterflies- but just in case... he says, [these fish] "will occasionally nibble at large-polyped stony corals."

I just wanted to add his statement to this thread because in my experience with S. Michael's writings, he is as careful as he can be to not give assumptions & opinion as fact - So my opinion is that he must have heard of this happening from someone who owned one of these

Not much info, I admit, but how much can you expect when you are helping to blaze the trail yourself ;)

The very best of luck with these beauties - & please keep logging your progress here - eager minds await! :D
 
Very nice Richard...beautifull fish:D

You are very fortunate to have a wombat selling fish locally. He needs to move his store to Knoxville so I can work on my collection:p

I am about 10 years too late for Tullock's store:rolleyes:

Had mine for a month now... Haven not touched any coral and is feeding heavily on Mysis... Would be cool to get a pair... Any chance of pairing up with a new addition?

Not only that, but he is also carefully basing his information from observations made on wild specimens.
