Gauging interest in a teenage Emperor Angelfish

[Markv]

Well, I gave it another year. He definitely settled down in regards to the established fish. But he's still very intolerant of newcomers, which is to be expected with Emperors. At this time, he's almost in his adult colors. Great fish with great personality. But I want to take my reef in a different direction, and so I'm considering finding him another home. If anyone is interested in a free Emperor and has a 6 foot or more tank, let me know.

He's fairly reef safe. He did take out my Acanthastrea and some zoanthids, but has left all my other corals alone. Just keep in mind he can be territorial to new fish added after him.

I have no idea how on earth to remove him. Since I am planning on overhauling my tank, I should be able to remove him then.

I will take him and put him in my 210 my number is 404-516-0407. I could pick him up tonight if you want

My 210 tank is also 7 foot long

[Markv]

a 210g would be a great tank for him. Can you tell me more about your tank?

Tonight might be too soon. I have a work function to attend, and I suspect that I will have to remove most of my liverock to catch him. I will try to get him out maybe this weekend.

I sorry to say but it's to late to add the emperor of you want angelfish dwarf or true angelfish you mist always add tjem into your aquarium at the same time so they have equal chance to see who is the boss and so they can establish a territory it may work but more likely a big fight will start one of the angels will die and the achillis tang will be really stressed get whitespot or some other disease and all your fish will be dead before desert
