Emperor Angle

[RyanP]

I just wanted to get some feedback from people who own them. I won one in a contest from saltwaterfish.com and wanted to know a little about them.

Sweet...when is he coming in? Pictures? Angels are something that I have never done, but I am looking into.

Heres a quick and dirty from fosters and smith: (remember that these guys are NOTORIOUS for recommending smaller tanks than are actually appropriate for fish)

He came in friday, hes so hard to get a picture of in the tank. Im tryin my best to get a good one. Ill post as soon as i do. He was smaller than i expected. I had to divide my tank off because im afraid my lion will swallow him whole.

Took some crappy quality pics for now so you could see him

he grazes like crazy on everything, Ive got some sea weed sheets that even have an emperor on the package, but i have seen him touch it. Wonder what else i could try thats small enough

need sponges in their diet, special angelfish food will solve that
not even close to reef safe
as with almost all angels, grows very slowly

pretty much all i can think of atm, do you have any specific q's?

SO AWESOME! He looks in great condition. I am super excited to try an angel out in my 125g.

That being said...I am kinda worried that he will pick at my macros and softies...the softies he can munch on, maybe he can keep them in check...the macros though...are kinda a big part of my filtration.

I have been thinking about how I am going to meet his dietary needs and am kinda at a loss. I am going to read up a little on wet web media I think.
