WarOrks15 · 08-28-2004, 12:44 AM

it is the koran angel the imperator angel has an "O" by the back fin.

quarryshark · 08-28-2004, 01:38 AM

Yup, a Koran. Beautiful as a juvi!!

dralarms · 08-28-2004, 09:21 AM

But they get so BIG.

I wanted one for my 150 but I'm afraid of trying to catch him once he gets too big for the tank.

They do get big, but according to liveAquaria, can be kept in a 100 gallon tank? Some of the other angels have much bigger requirements, but this guys seem to be a bit smaller. Not sure why, perhaps they don't need as much swimming room?
