Marine Angelfish Tank 2011

[MrOlympus44]

love your selection of fish .what size is the tank? im looking to upgrade and add a few more angels myself like the blueline and scribbled .the conspicious is gonna have to wait til i hit the megabucks.dont see them going for less than 2000 dollars.beautiful job

[ElectricBlues4life]

to everyone who is surprised that there isn't any clear signs of aggression. some fish are only aggressive in tanks and not in the wild. its the limited amount of space which makes them aggressive and not their natural behavior. in this case, the tank is large, so theirs no need for them to be aggressive to each other, also add on to the fact that there are so many of them.

[trukgirl]

WOW those are some pricey fish you have, gorgeous!! 2 questions: how long have you had the Moorish Idol, and how big is the tank?

[snowboarderrx]

what do you feed your moorish idol? mine eats NLS and all frozen food

[Stunnaz84]

your fish variety is top notch...never had a fish aquarium b4 but started thinking that it would be cool to have one and i would want the saltwater type

[RaffleReefer10]

WOW! no aggression? How many gallons?

[RobnGem2010]

Hi Rahul, just to let you know that real reefs have a pair of large (8") scribbled angels and a pair of lipstick Tangs which are also large... Just thought you might be interested....your 2 angels in SWM are stunners by the way.

[HeratyIRN]

The Red Tail Surgeonfish is beautiful!

[2b3the1]

Isn't the multibarred an obligate corallivore?

[brianlam200061]

is the morish idol hard to keep?

[RahulBristol]

@brianlam200061 Still have mine coming up to 2 years. Seems quite easy to keep. Needs lots of food.

[mrpmj00]

I am very impressed. You have the MOST beautiful and rare fish collection I have ever seen. Tank is very clean too.

[RahulBristol]

@mrpmj00 Thanks very much, check out the new video...... True Personifer

[nakmin123]

What happened to your queen angel??

[djkms]

Nice assortment of fish!

[ChrisRottweiler]

Lovely tank!

After seeing this I may get a Tinkers Butterfly instead of a Threadfin.

[RahulBristol]

@ChrisRottweiler Tinkers and Declivis are real nice fish

[ChrisRottweiler]

@RahulBristol

Tinkers are lovely, unfortunatley I've recently found out the price reflects this. I'll stick with the Threadfin:)

[tristaryul]

I'm a little suspicious about the Multibarred Angelfish and the Moorish Idol, how long were they in the tank before this video?

[RahulBristol]

Respond to this video... 

[benzoreid1]

[IfestionKpapadam]

Excellent choices of fish, i really envy you for your everyday viewing of these beauties.

My best wishes for long live of your fish.!!

Keep up the good work.!!

You can check my effort in my marine FO tank.

[RahulBristol]

@IfestionKpapadam Thanks very much for the comment, you can see my new video i've just put up today!

[dioube45]

Is your PB Tang hybrid ??

[RahulBristol]

@dioube45 Yes its a Nigiricans hybrid

[daca623]

i have a passer angel and tried to add a majestic but the passer won't let up chasing him like crazy nipping fins all he do is hide i've had it in the tank for 2 days now but he's not gonna make it the passer is to aggressive. what angels do you think i can try with a large passer angel

[daca623]

You have THE BEST TANK AND FISHES on you tube hands down.  You should change your user name to the champ. How do you add so many angels without problems??

[RahulBristol]

@daca623 Thank you very much for your comment. I do not find adding new angelfish a problem.

[daca623]

You have THE BEST TANK AND FISHES on you tube hands down you should change your user name to the champ. How do you add so many angels without problems??

[turuu2]

Did you get rid of the french and emperor angel because they attack new fish? Because they are a pain in the butt when i add new fish.

[RahulBristol]

@killersamz Great fish.... you got a video of that ?

[turuu2]

How do you add new fish? Don't they fight?

[RahulBristol]

@turuu2 Not really, only the Achilles Tang is a pain every time.

[svtjulian]

Very Nice!! How long have you had the moorish Idol?

[RahulBristol]

@svtjulian Idol has now been with me over 6 months, doing really well.

[turuu2]

How did you get the scribbled, regal, blue lined angel, moorish idol, achilles tang to eat?

[RahulBristol]

@turuu2 Put a whole variety of food in there regularly, usually they start on something they like and eventually they take to other foods.

[pizcobabe]

I als have a question heh... Did you buy your fish large or did they grow that large in the tank? Becuse I am considering adding some larger fish to me 70 FOWLR tank, and I don't want them to grow half their fun looking size cuz they are just in a tank..

[RahulBristol]

@pizcobabe I bought most of my fish around the 4 inch size, as I prefer to start with Angelfish that size. But my scribbled I always bought as large as I could find.

[pizcobabe]

WOW you have a lot of expensive fish in there. I wish I had that kind of money because I'd do exactly that. Nice achillies they are my favorite.

[RahulBristol]

@pizcobabe Ha ha cheers.  Buying the fish is one part... keeping them is another thing.

Achilles is my Favorite Tang, but a hard fish to keep.

[NEL21NELLY]

Hi

Did you add all the angels at the same time??.I ask my LFS, to have a angel aquarium I must add them at the same time...

[RahulBristol]

@NEL21NELLY No I did not add all the Angelfish at the same time. You do not have to add all the Angelfish at the same time.

[dioube45]

Hi Rahu, really nice once again. You're Bluespotted Angel is awesome. Next fish are probebly Arcuatus and Personifer ?

Can you post a video of feeding time.

Really enjoy to see this.

Really nice Tinkeri by the way :)

[RahulBristol]

@dioube45 Yes, definitely you are right about the next fishes..... I would like a male Personifer and maybe a Bandit.

I will do a feeding video soon.

Thanks

[trapperjeff]

Do you QT your fish before each addition?  Just curious...

[RahulBristol]

@trapperjeff I'm starting to get in the habit of doing that. I generally don't QT. I did QT the Achilles for 1 month.

[haivang1]

Rahu check out my FOWLR tank..and see what you think..It not as good as your, but hopefully someday.

[RahulBristol]

@haivang1 Tank is looking nice and healthy...... Love the Majestic, thinking about getting another one myself.

[GracieBJJ751]

Rahul,

What are your tank dimensions in inches? oh and sweet tank!!!

[RahulBristol]

@GracieBJJ751 Thanks, its approx. 6 feet 6 inches.... 200 cm

[GracieBJJ751]

Rahul,

What are your tank dimensions in inches?

[haivang1]

What song is this from the begining?

[RahulBristol]

@haivang1 The track was "were Done" by Wiz Khalifa, until you tube shut that down and removed the sound!

[rocklord423]

i c u r still keeping up with your beutiful tank! when u get a chance chk out my new vid,let me know wat u thnk. keep up the gooood work!

[RahulBristol]

@rocklord423 Nice, like your set up man, seems to work real well.

[trouts2009]

Nice,, Very nice. Have been thinking of going to a fish only tank 250g, with my soon to be up grade. How big is your tank, how big and how often with your water changes, what kind of skimmer? How do you think the fish in your tank would do with a Midas Blenny, the one fish I have that my wife wouldn't want to part with lol.

[RahulBristol]

@trouts2009 My Tank is 600 litres. Water change about 60 litre every single week. Using a Deltec MCE 600 at the moment. Tank and all equipment will be upgraded in 2011.

Midas Blenny would be fine, i've got a large Bi-colour blenny in my tank which i've had for over a year no probs.

[haivang1]

Do you also run UV sterilizer? What kind? and How many watts?

[RahulBristol]

@haivang1 Yeah TMC Vecton 600. Also use Ozone.

[haivang1]

WOW. Nice update Rahul..I want to ask you how do you introduce those big angels without it fighting? Do you divide your tank into two, and seperated the new one? I had three angels, Blue face, Majestic, and Passer that already establish in the tank and I can't even add anymore angels without those three goes after it. I lose two Asfurs and a French angels already due to been aggressive from the old three angels. Your advise is kindly appreciated thanks.

[RahulBristol]

@haivang1 No I don't divide or anything, just slip em in while the others are eating! The angelfishes do not bother any new fish although the tangs are a big problem, but after about a day they calm down. Maybe you should try adding a few fish at the same time?

[haivang1]

@haivang1  Thanks I will try to do that next time.

[MrPenpen111111]

search teardrop clownfish its really cool
