Don't look at the dates I posted, but the dates I put in each post, this has occurred over months.

Thanx for showing us, Todd. I have a bf that I have had for about 7 months as well. He eats like a pig and has always had the same coloration as your last few photos, doesn't seem to have changed much in 7 months. I'll try to get some pics as he looks just like yours, but he is very camera shy.

Hey shifty I can't believe you talk about your boyfriend like that!
joking

Been a while since I've updated this thread, I took some pictures this weekend of it.

It is still doing great, added Rod's food and an angel formula to its diet. I also moved my flame angel into that tank. They are getting along fine.

So, here are the pictures.

Almost there! Looking great.

Holy Carpet. Are you concerned that anemone is going to munch that beautiful angel?

 

[LuvAngels88]

Awesome!!

 

[Toddrtrex]

Thanks.

myerst2 -- not really. I have two carpets in that tank, one for 7+ years the other just under a year. In all that time I've only lost a yellow watchman goby, and that was about 5 years ago.

Looks great! It is really starting to change rapidly it seems. Good job.

Great thread, thanks for sharing


Your blueface looks incredible. I've always wanted to be able to watch the color shift from juvy to adult.

Lucky!

 

[Toddrtrex]

Thanks guys. I am really happy with the way he is changing and being able to see it. Tried this in the past with a Koran angel, but he got to big before he finished changing and I had to sell him before he was done.
I will make sure to keep this updated.

Great looking fish. I kept one a few years ago. What size tank is this?

 

[xanthurum]

Awesome looking angel, I hope yours does not turn into the coral eater mine did. I got one as an adult, about 5 inches, and put him and a Red Sea Regal Angel in my 280 on the same day. They both acclimated wonderfully and never had a problem out of either Angel for 8 months. Then I purchased a firefish and didn't quarantine it before putting in my main display. Big Mistake, Fungus outbreak and I lost a Naso, Mimic, Blue Eye, and Achilles Tangs along with the Regal Angel. I almost lost the blueface and two other Tangs but they pulled through. These were established fish I had the Naso for 4 years, The Mimic and Achilles for over 18 months and the Regal and Blue Face were the most recent additions.

As if the loss of all those fish wasn't bad enough. I watched as the Blue Face nipped at an SPS colony. Then did it again and 2 days later I didn't have a single piece of coral. Not one little polyp was left. In less than a week I had lost about $2000 worth of livestock. I was eventually able to catch him and traded him to a LFS where at about 8 inches he was to be the main fish in their display tank. He didn't survive a month in their tank and now I am even more depressed becasue if I would have kept him in my tank he would still be alive and beautiful.
