Never said eaing=healthy, i said eating and healthy.
There are many ways to "skin a cat", some people do it this way, other do it that way.... No way is wrong, just what that individual feels most comfortable with. I feel better buying my fish from Sedar, he has healthy fish, no disease, and they eat for me. I have never bought fish from liveaquaria, just read most things about them...from what i have read, most people have been happy with them... Not to say a bad fish couldn't come in once in awhile, but most places will not willing sell an unhleathly fish.... I have recieved many fish from Sedar, so far the fish have been in great health.... personally if a quaratine tank consist of a 40 gallon tank with PVC fittings and you throw a large angel in there it will not be happy and stress it more.....Now if it consist of a 70+ gallon tank with live rock for it to pick off of, places to hide, and dim lighting then i think that is the best way; you can control what the fish is eating, watch it for disease and it will slowly get used to you. Now i know you cannot treat a tank with medication that has LR in it...but i feel that if you provide the proper type of quaratine it is better in the long run... If a quaratine tank is a 40 gallon with PVC fittings, then i think it has a better chance in the display.. again this is my methodiology, not saying it's right or wrong... Nick |

Lets face it the bigger the QT the better, in most situtations, and the better setup in the QT makes it even better.
The real problem is a lot of people have just bypassed the QT process altogether. Some times because they don't have the space to QT or because they think the fish is coming for a good source, like Phisy Business. In both situtions this is not a good thing and leaves yourself open to real problems that could come about. Remember all it takes is one sick fish that mayn't be showing anything at the moment to cause major problems in your tank and even the best places do get sick fish from time to time that manager to get into people tanks. Unfortunily there are a lot of horror story of fish not being QT, time and method not withstanding here, and the problems that they caused in people tanks.

I am just wondering, a friend of mine just got one of these BEAUTIFUL guys at the LFS and currently has a FOWLR and is considering going to a reef. What corals do you keep with these fish if any? He is interested in softies mostly and maybe a few sps...I know its a hit or miss but just wondering what others have had success with! Thanks

I've had a blue line for about a year. He was pretty shy for the first couple months. He eats pretty much anything you offer him. If you go close the the glass he'll come offer and try to whack you with his tail.
I got him at themarinecenter |

Tremelle, how's the BlueLine doing? Also, what does a juvie look like? Are they the same but just small or dark blue with white lines like many other juvie angels?

Nexdog, it is going great. The Chyrsurus stopped bothering it after about 3 days. It swims around with the Blonde Naso Tang. It eats anything that hits the water. It has not bothered any of the leathers or mushrooms. It is not shy at all. It stays out front and swims mid level to the top when a person walks by the tank. I will get a couple of pics tomorrow when the lights are back on.

Awesome and look forward to some pics. This fish is next on my list for sure. My new Regal will be here in about 90 minutes!

I love the Annularis and the only thing stopping me is that I already have a Pomacanthus (Imperator). I now have a Pygoplites and last on my wish list is a Blue Line (Chaetodontoplus). That's an awesome angel though. I love stripy fish.

Much more hardy but they do get pretty big. Personal I was never a big fan of them, I guess all the green in them turn me off, but it is a show type fish specially when it gets larger and yours seems to have most of the adult colors.

When you go into a lfs and mention the Blueline Angel, they think you are referring to the Annularis. That is a pretty specimen you have there.
Tommy108, JustRareFish.com had a couple of Bluelines available. I did notice the price went up $50 once LiveAquaria.com sold theirs. They must be watching the other online sites to price their fish. |

Not sure why they raised the price as they're usually not that expensive and are regularly available.
