Asfur Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi bro, u shouldn't buy rock beauty. This angel was almost imposibble to keep alive in any lenght of time in the tank. Eventhough few of expert can keep them alive, but on most cases this fish is really hard to keep in the tank. There are lots of other choice that much more easy to keep such as Asfur, Maculosus, King, French, Queen, Blue Face, even Regal Angel are easier compare to Rock Beauty. FYI, my friend are tried to keep this beauty angel for almost 10 times with various size, and all tempt are death in about few weeks or month.

lizard44 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 thx bro Travy will try to get the hikari lizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asfur Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 If u can get ur rock beauty to eat, then it is a sign a good progress. But, this angel is not like anyother angel that can be live healthy on various food, so like Travy said u must serve this angel with a sponge base food instead of meat food. Because this fish rely heavily on sponge as their primary food, especially when they are in adult size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member SoTongBall Posted August 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 23, 2005 I find that it is easier to keep rock beauty than regal. I've 2 rock beauty in my tank, they are feeding well with pellet or frozen food despite being constantly bullied by the more aggressive queen.
