Neomeris. Btw, That tank is a little bit small for a pigmy angel.

 

[Boolay1978]

The lfs told me if was a bicolored angel and would be ok for the tank?

 

[mr_X]

Well, they do get to be 6" long.

 

[Boolay1978]

Oh, how long does that take!

 

[mr_X]

I don't know. It depends on feeding I suppose, but even on line requirements state at least a 30 gallon tank.

 

[Boolay1978]

Ok. I got my initial thread title wrong, I have a 29gl so nearly there!

 

[mr_X]

Ok. Want me to change that title?

 

[Boolay1978]

Yes please!

My angel that I have had for a month is not looking too good. Did a partial water change at the weekend and he has been fine till this afternoon. It's a 29gl tank. Is there any thing I can do, he is still breathing .....

Is the angel in a tank that's only 2 months old?

 

[bskerrichard27]

I just read your build tread as of 12/29 your tank was a few days old.. that's not even two months angels need a well established tank bicolors are some of the harder ones to keep not alone putting them in a tank this young if u wanna save time money and so u don't loose interest in the hobby patience do not rush put u some hermits in there snails and a damsel or two they are veryhardie after your tanks up for a while loose the damsels and.get.some colorful ones

I am doing water changes every week water levels all good but still getting green glass every other day and having to clean it. Are there any of the CUC that I should get more of to help, I have 5 crabs and 2 turbo snails currently

 

[bskerrichard27]

I use turbos and a good magnet cleaner

 

[Boolay1978]

How many turbos would u have in a 29gl?

 

[mr_X]

Nothing is going to clean the glass for you. Snails do a terrible job. An algae scraper is what I would recommend. You can always purchase different lighting that doesn't hit the glass as much, this will help also.

My coral has been closed for a few days now, all levels are good, fish all happy anything else it could be?

 

[Boolay1978]

Have moved the coral to the top closer to light still has not opened though

 

[mr_X]

If a coral isn't open, it's not because of lack of light. Too much light, yes, but never too little.
