Ode to the Bicolor Angel

[dmweise]

There are very few fish that I will rave about. I have a Bicolor Angel and it has got to be one of the most interesting fish to watch. I literally will sit and watch him play for hours. He's only about one and a half inches long, but his presence far outshines that of my five inch Copperband Butterflyfish.

Not only is he fun to watch but he each sponge that builds up. I originally got him as a utility fish to get rid of some spaghetti sponge that was growing on my rocks. After demolishing the sponge he became one of the most interesting ornamental fish in my tank.

Does anyone else like their Bicolor Angel? If so, post a picture and give it a name.

Mine's name is "Little Boy Blue" but when he gets bigger his name will be changed to "Ziploc".

my pgymey angel is also very interesting but he has the nasty habit of eating SPS. Does your bicolor have a similar issue? If not, what do you feed him?

I had a BiPolar angel. It was my favorite fish for the first month. Then it decided to kill my clam, nip my open brain till it was almost gone, and loved to watch zoas and buttons close while nipping at them. Awesome fish to watch no doubt.

My Bicolor only nips coral if I'm late with the meals. In the morning a feed a cube of mysid and a cube of formula one. 12 hours later I feed two cubes of frozen mysid. He leaves my euphillias alone. I don't have a whole lot of SPS, just star polyps, xenia, zoanthids, and a green slimer.

He only nips at the star polyps and green slimer but not super often. I keep him fed.

Just gave mine away. It was one of the happiest days of my life. She got quite big and picked on softies and any fish she felt like including a dwarf lion. Good riddance!
