    Thank you for this great care guide. Would you mind doing one for the regal angel as well?

      My pleasure. Sure, could give that a go. Takes some time to organize my thoughts cohesively though hehe

      That may be but you do need to have room for breeding

    Do you have any suggestion for someone willing to recreate your fish selection? What will be the right timeline and order of introduction of the fish? Thanks

      @viking_reefing  2 роки тому +1

      I would Introduce them in order of aggression..so the cooperband first, then the regal and working up to the achilles.

    Hi, can you please tell me if adding a emperor angel could be considered a safe addition in similar selection of corals and fish ,what could be could be the possible consequences and why would you add or not add this fish in your tank and btw thanks for the video

    • @viking_reefing
      @viking_reefing  2 роки тому

      I would say that it would be resonantly safe to add an imperator. They are fairly alike the other angels that I have in terms of aggression and risk to corals. However, nothing is ever guaranteed unfortunately.

    Good info. my 150 is a year old, I added one via mail order (after giving up on LFS) it lasted about 3 days. I drip acclimated - kept in breeder box inside the display overnight before letting it into the main tank. I fed live brine as well as frozen Mysis. I have a dragonet who's been in the tank for the entire year, no problems finding food... 3 clowns, 1 engineer goby, 2" Tomini Tang, 6 line wrasse. That's it. I didn't see any aggressive behavior looked like it was eating the brine... It nestled under a rock and passed away took me all day to find it had to move all the rockwork.

      Thanks bud! It unfortunately sound like you got a compromised specimen. I pile highly recommend buying this fish in person due to all the possible issues I mentioned in the video.
      You might have to pass up like 20 of them before the “right” one comes in.

    Have you had any problems with copperbands eating any of your corals? How about inverts and clams?

    • @viking_reefing
      @viking_reefing  2 роки тому

      Nope. The only thing it ever went after was rock flowers.
