Always have loved the look of this species and wanted one, but heard how difficult they are to get feeding. Last weekend my LFS had a small one in (maybe 3" - looks like a Centropyge) and it was eating frozen food confidently. I took a chance, brought it home and added to my 260 FOWLR which has a couple larger angels (5-6" french and 5" emperor) as well as a yellow tang that doesn't like other yellow fish. Happily, the flagfin is doing great. He ate from day 1 in my tank and will take just about any frozen food and even some pellets. None of the other fish really took issue with him. There was some initial chasing but nothing bad, and it's more from my powder blue than the other angels. It's only been a week but he seems like he will be a happy, productive member of society. It's nice to be able to share a success story (even if it is early - as eating is the biggest challenge with these guys), rather than always have to seek advice for problems. :spin1:
