i think ur spot on haha

wish my angels are like urs, mine are opposite some are so blur that the food drop right past their face they dont even see, have to go down to the gravel to peck.. =(

Try putting them in a betta box and float them in ur Dt for about 3 - 4 days so they can get accustomed to the lighting and water parameters before letting them out at night. If still fighting n u cant catch ur offenders, rearrange the rockscape to reset their territories. Usually that would do the trick but try not to stir up the sediment or ur tank may crash

Now my Blueface is going all out after my majestic... =((

Angel lover only ma .. But the reason i asking this is their behavior is causing some disturbance to my other more jittery angels, especially my regal and asfur. Coz their movement is erratic and their jerking and ramming around does frighten the others and its very stressful to me =(. I forgot to add that this strange behavior also started some time after i added my most recent addition, a 4 inch emperor. Im also worried perhaps the nutrition could be insufficient as i have been quite busy recently and skipped out on feeding seaweed for quite awhile and caused behavioral problems..

Hi guys ive been keeping angels for quite some time now, and i have not experienced this issue before. Recently my 7 inch blueface and 9 inch majestic have been acting extremely strangely.. They have been circling each other as if they are going to fight or size each other up but they do not even nip each other. In the past my blueface has been the true terror of tank when any new pomacanthus family is introduced. My majestic is a big softie in my tank whilst my blueface is my tank's equivalent of Don Corleone At night when i was doing a water top up and my daily rounds of checking the pumps and skimmer and wavemakers are all in order, i noticed the blueface and majestic sharing my blueface's sleeping area. This is extremely unusual coz my blueface will not only defend his sleeping area ( the biggest hidey hole of my tank ) among his liverocks but may even cause severe injury and death to other fishes.. Does anyone have any idea what is this behavior about? if it is some kind of strange pairing its fine but im worried its ailment or poor health. Im currently running a 6ft fowlr with liverocks, no dosing of any chemicals since day 1. My fishes: Emperor, Majestic, 2 x Blueface, Asfur, Earspot, French, 3 x queens, Regal yb, venustus, bluering, watanabei male, personifer, 2 x king, scribbled, cortez , sohal and a naso.

yes definitely putting wavemakers, probably two of them.. may i ask why do you set 30 deg for temp if ur running a chiller? isnt the point of using a chiller to keep the water cool?

yes, i already have prepared a 2ft tank for qt.. i definitely am going for qt cos im not really confident the fishes from lfs are all that safe May i ask if you have a qt? and if so what do you use for it? skimmer im sure..how about sump and filtration and any uv?

yes.. im not trying to overkill as i have constraint on budget too, cant exceed that otherwise my co gona nag lol But still looking for the most logical and ideal set up. Stocking and deciding what fishes to put in is my least priority and worry for the moment. Just got a general idea what i will put soon. =)

Hey bro! im staying at NE side too! compassvale walk hahaha. im sure one day we gona be heading down find fishes together

i used seaweed with garlic to tempt my finicky fishes.. you could try that with your venustus

Hi everybody, im new here and i am considering starting up a 4ft fowlr tank, i also have several questions and doubts in setting up my tank. I have already ordered a tank with 4 ft sump and preparing to purchase my skimmers and UV and sump materials. I have several questions although i have read up and researched. I still need some help and advice. Previously i had kept several angels but that was a fowlr with artificial rocks and BB. Now i am considering running a fowlr with live rocks, maybe chiller and also a sand bed. Im going to dive into the questions now.. Is it better to run 2 skimmers as opposed to 1? Is it safe to run a large UV in my tank as im hoping to cultivate plankton in my sandbed. Ive heard that UV kills organisms. But im afraid of fish dieseases and i hope a large UV unit can help to control bacteria and and sterilize my water to a certain extent. Liverocks as opposed to Dead rocks.. I feel that liverocks make the tank look more beautiful and contributes to a healthier tank with microalgae for fishes to graze upon. But the prospect of parasites and dieseases is very daunting. Should i cycle the tank for 3 months or 6 months? Is cycling for 3 months safe? I really love the look of the sand bed!!! but im also worried about the sand dropping into my sump and jam my system. This worry is because my aim would be to stock large fishes(angels primarily). And those guys can easily stir up the sand bed am i right? Should i use coral bits as bottom? i have seen people using that too. Previously when i kept my old tank i used a fan to cool the temperature, but the temperature was always around 28-29 deg. This makes my fishes color look less beautiful and i read that cold water accentuates the fish's colors. Is this true or can i still stick to fan without affecting my fish color?. Really hoping to make my fish color vibrant this time as previously my blue face, majestic and a couple angels became dull and not as vibrant as when i first purchased them. There are still many considerations but essentially im really thinking about the purchasing of skimmers, chillers and UV and liverocks( or artificial) and the type of sand bed.. If anyone out there has any opinions or advice ill really welcome it..

I forgot to add i also have a purple tang, naso and 2 other dwarf angels
