    I have had my eye on one of these for a while. I like the dwarf angel's but it seems like everyone has a flame or coral beauty, so this is definitely something different. But they can get nippy more than the others. So far so good, but I'm keeping a strict eye on it.
    Picks at a lot of the rocks. One thing that is really cool is it is already buddies with the cleaner. Been cleaned 3 times already ;D

    Thank you thank you. And your are very correct. Its kinda like the show Scrubs. You're Dr. Cox and I'm JD.

    And it is a cool fish. The only thing I would recommend is getting one through an LFS instead of ordering because as stated, they can get nippy. If it slips to the evil side you're going to want to be able to take it somewhere with ease. Also, I have heard that they will not tolerate other dwarf angels.

    Congrats on the new fish.... Looks to be a bit on the skinny side. Be sure and keep an eye on it's eating habits and health. Try and plump it up. If you find that it just won't plump up despite good eating habits, something else may be wrong.

    Thanks dude. And it is slightly skinny. Most of the fish that I get from the LFS are; if they have been there for a while like this one they get thin (the singapore has been there since january 8th). I dont think they feed very much.
    But it ate well tonight. Everything I added too. Mysis, brine, spirulina, and a veggie mix. I may mix his own little bowl with some extra selcon and target him like I do with the mandarin. He is absolutely innhialating all the sponges too.
