Keeping one is like owning a Tasmanian Devil. Even Mike Tyson can't deliver a punch like it. Unless u enjoy those mortal combat stuffs but then.... to each his own.

Good deal! Paid more during my time!

imho, will buy from hobbyist anytime! Couple of bad experiences getting from fish shops only to see them die ços not stable?

With such ample space, it needs a freak accident for it to stumble into the anemone. Maybe, judging by its darkened coloration at death; could be a case of poisoning. Not sure if they still bring in cyanide-caught fish. Those caught by cyanide usually thrive for a period and then that's it!

How about an overall pic of the tank before any further comments?

Changi GH Pharmarcy sells it.

It looks quite thin. Hopefully, feeding it soaked raw nori (not the baked type for human consumption) and brown seaweed ( sargassum) may help it regain its health.

U should watch them grow! It's an unforgettable experience n they really massacre the algae. Enjoy ! 1

coralline algae...

Flame angel!!

As QT tank needs only a small qty of fluid, perhaps the cheapest way out is to get a 5 gallon holder to transport seawater from the sea (foc). Water just need to run thru a filter for a couple of hrs b4 usage.

As late as 2001, fishes like PT, YT, Blueface, Scribbled angelfish, to name a few, were going for around $20 to $30. Nowadays , prices are exorbitant!

Hi pal, It's advisable 2 buy the above brand new. Had bad experience from 2 used wavemaker pumps. They only lasted about 2 mths! The sellers r still active in this forum but I don't blame them.

Fix the problem or no payment. One of my nephews did n they'd to get it done. No decent shop will do such a sloppy job and dare to deliver it. Finbir.

Wow! Those two butterfly fishes are tough candidates in terms of survival.

Oops! Should be juvenile crescent perch .

They look like juvenile target perches.

Did I miss this? Matching the water temperature of the new arrival with that of its future abode before releasing it?

Still best to pay a little more n get it from another reefer.

Other than the multibar angel, the venustus angel, the potter's and the golden angel All the dwarf angels available usually present no problem. I only matched the temperature and keep in the small quarantine for a week. Within that period, the fish should be eating brine shrimps or mysis besides the frozen daphnia. The seaweed isn't a must. Failure to eat is a sign of an unhealthy acquisition. Btw, a local copperband butterfly fish which I got from a guy who caught it in his cast net at the east coast, survived beautifully until it accidentally went into the overflow section. Food for thought?

Wahh! Jolly fast, man! Keep the flag flying!

Hi Willy, It's been a long time since ur interesting posts. No new shipment to date ahh?

Young juveniles are easier to entice to eat. U can try frozen brine shrimps, frozen daphnia and small bunches of nori (not the roasted type). Do make an effort to attach the seaweed to the rocks.

It's a sergeant major damsel.
