    Hah, Thought I would show you guys a cute picture. Also, is it usual for Angels to bolt around the tank occasionally...? Not spooked or anything? My Blueface does a twitch for like a second then launches himself across the tank... LOL. I dont know if anyone knows if this is normal or not... I cant find anything about it at all.

    Thanks all!

    It could be simply playing. I've had blueface angels swim against powerful powerheads and then turn sideways on purpose to get shot across the tank and then swim back to the powerhead.

    Hah... After reading up on the disease, I dont think he has that... He has some frayed fins, but he got into a bout with my Powder Brown (Taken back to the lfs because he had to big of an attitude for my tank). His fins are healing up now thanks to Melafix and some Vitamins to his algae!

    I have a large blue face and he does the exact same thing. Mine is a few years old and has always done it. It seem he does it more when he see's his reflection. I try and keep the glass in his territory covered with algea.
