FS: Young Manacapuru Angelfish

[JQW]

hi guys

I've been growing out some young Manacapuru angelfish that I got from a fellow hobbiest (forum member?) since a couple of month ago. With recent encouragement by my wife, I've decided to go into saltwater, and will need to empty my 29 gallon. Therefore I need to find a new home for the angels. I have 10 of them at half dollar size and growing nicely. Some are just starting to color up. Happy to re-home them for $100 for all 10.

I don't understand why you have to empty the tank and sell the angels. All you do is get out one of the many empty tanks stashed around and set it up.

Ha! And where are the many empty tanks exactly?

Don't have room.....

You want to adopt these guys them?

I don't think I can even fit a 225 in my apartment...ok maybe I can, but I think there's a limit on the maximum gallons imposed by body corp

Are these manacapuru angels still available?

 

[MHMoro]

They are not available anymore. I got them all.

Lucky you, thanks for letting me know.
If you ever get tired of looking at those ugly fish, please keep me in mind!

Manuel - How are they temperament wise? I've heard that they are pretty aggressive with one another.

Cory, I thought you had this thing sold?

Cory's post is from a month ago.

They are somewhat more aggressive between them than common angels. They are still juveniles and growing. The red color develops later.

29 gallon is too small for salt water fish
salt water fish 5 gallon per 1" of fish, so in a 29 gallon, have 6" of fish

Just like the 1" per gallon rule for freshwater? You're spouting old knowledge that doesn't apply, it really depends on the fish.

I had 8" of saltwater fish in an 8 gallon tank with some coral and an anemone, its really about maintaining water quality.
