Bicolor Angelfish

[RexBrown]

I'm bummed to sell him because he's one of my favorite fish. However he's began to nip at my, recently introduced, clam's mantle. I hoped it would be safe as he's never nipped at any coral. He's always been a good citizen with my other fish. I thought it would be tough to trap him, but my DIY trap worked out pretty good. The picture is of him in the trap.

As far as a price, I'm asking $20. PM me with questions, an offer or let me know if you have something to trade.

Thanks!

how big is he...i might be interested

 

[RexBrown]

I would estimate him at about 3.5 to 3.75 inches or so.

 

[Dub23]

hmmmm....dats pretty much full grown or how big will it get?

 

[RexBrown]

Wikipedia says they get to be about 6 inches and notes that it's a large member of the dwarf angel family. It also says that they can be "difficult to keep beyond an initial acclimation period". That's not been my experience with him. He eats like a champ, has grown a lot, and has been an active and healthy fish.

That's the only reason I'm selling him. He's never nipped at any coral, but I got two clams two weeks ago and he's taking a liking to their mantles.

They clean them once they are clean they rarely go back for greens and stragglers. My tang and angel
Do that when my clam was new.

It looks like a bit more than cleaning though. When I've seen him do it, he bites off pieces of flesh from the edges of the mantle.

I suppose I'm not making a good case for why someone should want to buy him, LOL. But other than this, he's been a great fish.
