IIRC from when I used to keep them, the angels are actually feeding on the mucous coating of the critter in question when they "nip", altho they may...
I left that out...but yes, they do. ;) FWIW, I had a couple of "rescue" BTAs that had been bleached, dyed yellow, and then bleached themselves....
Another thing you might do is rinse the mysis once it's thawed...the "juice" has a lot of organics and even bacteria in it. Thaw the mysis, then put...
We buffer our top-up water...works really well for us.
About the only thing you can say at this point is "lesson learned" regarding research (hopefully).

IME, most SH, meaning the larger species, will use every bit of lateral space you give them. The "tall tank" thing really comes into play for...
Any "ID handles" you can offer for differentiating the two genera?
FWIW/IME, the key to keeping an adult volitans is front-to-back depth...they really do best in a 24" tank so they can maneuver around. I wouldn't...
Acrylic tanks with blue or black backs can't have the color buffed off of them as the back pane is solid color thru and thru. That is, unless the...
Zero, Rayjay knows zots very well...better than me, for sure. To be honest, keeping them is like having SH fry all the time in terms of the work...
