Beautiful!! I would love to have gotten an emperor, but I dont have a big enough tank. Looks like your majestic still has some juvi stripes on the tail tooo. You cant see mine, because my pic is terrible, mine just doesnt have the spots yet. Thanks for the pic, your fish all look beautiful and healthy!!

Here's my flagfin. I haven't taken a pic of my blueface yet, it is still quite shy but is getting bolder all the time, especially when he is hungry.

Beautiful fish Kahuna Tuna!! You dont see the flagfins often. I would love to see your blue face too. Angelfish are just to cool, lol. I realy need to get better lighting. You can see more detail in the fish with the actinic lights. Oh well a few more paychecks and ill see what I can do, hehe.

Hi, here is my Emperor too... Maybe the little brother of the nice one from BlueNWhite.

He's 3.5" long now. What a fun fish with playful character.



Cheers!

see personality was what I wanted in an angel. But my majestic is kinda shy right now. He will come out, but if you move to fast or make a noise he dases back to his cave. I guess it will just take some time for him to get braver, lol. I know emperors have ton of personality, but I just dont have room, so ill just have to convert my majestic, hehe. Nice fish by the way!! It is fun to watch them change to and adult. Keep the pics commin, they are looking great so far!!!!!!!!

scoutmaniak- thanks, I really love that flag, so much so that I had to show him twice! JK, not sure what happened there. Anyway he is an awesome fish, one of the most personable fish I have, always out and about and comes to check me out whenever I'm in the room. My blueface sounds a lot like your majestic, he's still very shy but is starting to come out a lot more, especially at dinnertime.

Awesome pics everyone, keep em coming.

No problem Kahuna Tuna. Yea dinner time is a favorite of the majestic too.
Virginiabreeze6 dwarfs are angels too, dont feel bad. The flame angels was my favorite fish till I got my majestic, . I like how your emperor is getting its streamers!! And your queen is huge.

Wow, your angels look great!! Is that a pair of flames?? I am really looking into getting a pair of them. Your majestic looks good too, how big is it?? Do you have all they guys in your 75? How do they get along? I would love to have a tank full of angels, and I think I did good getting the majestic first they seem to be realy shy. My cinnamin clown is kinda bulling my majestic, so I need to get a meaner fish to put the clown in her place, lol.

Like with all angels, it depends on the fish. Ive seen all the angels above in reef tanks and do fine, then youll hear of people that have an angel that loves to eat everything. In the large angels I would say the majestic, regal, and sometimes the emperor are the safest. Most of the dwarfs are well mannered, but again it depends on the fish. If hear that if you can get the angels around 2 inches they are less likely to have gotten a taste for corals. Just keep them fat, and feed them the right food so they want start looking at corals for food. Mybe someone else will have an opinion about this.

Thanks. They are all in the 75 right now and planning for the big move in the early summer to the 220. They all get along pretty well now and the hardest was the baby Blueface (I'd in Sep and it's been hiding in the rocks most of the times but now it will swim in the open area but still take the quick dash because of the Majestic around). The Majestic is under 4" and it grew almost an inch since June '06. I've 3 FAs in 3 different sizes and waiting for the pair to form and I guess the odd one out will stay in the 75 after the move.

Does anyone know how long or big it usually take for FAs to pair up (if they decide to) and I've them since Oct/Nov?

From what Ive read, the flames will pair on there own. The male will be the biggest, with the brightest colors, and with have more pointed doral, and anal fins. All flames start out as female, so you can have a haram of angel as long as you just have one male. Im really looking into pairing up some flames for my tank, they are my favorite fish under my majestic, hehe. Also, is your majestic shy?? Mine is getting better, but is kind of a wimp. My female cinnamon clown will chase the majestic some times, and take alot of crap. I always thought angels would hold there own. How does the majestic act with other angels? In the future im upgradeing to a 180-220, and would love to put an emperor with it. Thanks for all the great pics guys, keep them commin!!

Michael
