Marine Angel ID, info
Howdy!
I am still trying to figure
out what kind of angel I have in my tank. One year ago, I was told
this was probably a Blue Face angel. At least, a Pomacanthus. Now
"she" has a yellow tail, and it looks like the tummy is turning
yellow, as well as behind the head.
<This is a very nice
Chrysurus angel. Please see here:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/fishes/angels/
pomacanthus/Pomacanthus.htm>
How do I know if this
Pomacanthus is a "Blue Face" (xanthometopon) or an "Ear Spot"
(chrysurus)? Or even another variety? I can only judge by the
pictures,
and none seem to match.
I know, the only way to be
absolutely positive is to wait until the fishie is an adult.
However, I want to make sure this fish is getting the right foods;
she eats ANYTHING I put in my tank, if I use my feeding tongs. I
can't even
move rocks with the tongs, because she eats the rock!
Polyps, algae, Xenia, flake, Mysis shrimp, Caulerpa (all sorts) -
seems like anything and everything.
Thanks for your help!

<Do try some of Pablo Tepoot's "Spectrum"
foods (the small then medium pellets)... Having just come from a
visit last weekend with him in FLA and seeing his fishes... am
inclined to believe his foods do help reverse the effects of
neuromast degradation (HLLE), which this specimen is beginning to
show signs of. Bob Fenner> |
