LavenderTi Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I have a captive bred multibar. Mine doesn't do much hiding but constantly browses the rocks picking at stuff to eat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally what im looking for. I keep seeing what is called a Tahiti orange peel angel but im not so sure they are as orange as the pictures portray. Did you get your multibar pre QT'd? How'd you get it acclimated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LavenderTi Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I bought mine directly through Biota. They are a bio-secure operation so there was no need to QT. I used an acclimation box from PNW Custom. The fish was eating right away since I matched the food the breeder used. Pretty smooth. My only comment is that the fish from biota are small. My multibar was the size of a nickel. It’s grown to about a half dollar in since February. I’d do it again, but just be sure to have the acclimation box and a way to feed it 3-5 times per day. Mine went it to the main display after 2 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totroc3 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I have a Purple Masked Angel (Venustus). It does like the heavy rock work but it is out most of the time. It did hide when I first got it but as it got used to the tank it is now out all the time. I believe they are from semi deep water which is darker and it takes them some time to adjust to brighter lighting. Mine has never picked at any corals. It gets along well with everyone including my large Queen Angel and my Majestic Angel. They are all easy keepers but they are big eaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them are bucket list fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefsakes Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I have a 260g dt angelfish system with them 2 and like 10 or so other angelfishes. Multibar is one of my favorites. The purple mask as an adult looks kinda funny but still a beautiful angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
