    Got a new buddy a few days ago. They are now breeding maculosus angelfish. They breed them in large ponds then raise the larva in tanks. Making them super hardy and already aclimated to aquarium life. Hes only about 2 inches but full of personality. I cant wait to watch him change into his adult colors.

    They are cool fish, but I hope it doesnt grow up to your corals like its wild cousins.

    I like their juvenile colors better than their adult colors!

    Well, they had to start somewhere ;). I agree though, As much as I can, I am grabbing captive-bred fish.
