chimera Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 from other sites i've read they recommend it's introduced to refugium first because it prefers sponges, algae etc - just what my fuge is full of. im hesitant to put it straight into my main tank because its a 'difficult to keep' fish so dont want to give it the possibility of being harassed by other fish (even though the compatibility chart shows it is compatible) they also need to get fed often - although dont compete for food as well as other fish. the way i see it is the less stress it has initially, the greater chance it has for overall survival. so, introducing to the refugium means i can watch it for a couple of weeks in solitary confinement!!! he is the more hardier species (from the Indian Ocean or Red Sea as indicated by a bright orange chest) and about 3" long. more info: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/fishes/angels/pygoplites/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
