i have one and he is doing great. I had him for about 4 months or so. he has a great personality. i feed a variety of items. i was told it all depends on how they were handled when caught. this what i heard. heres mine. my girlfriend named him Harry Potter.

They are sensitive to water quality and finicky eaters. Definitely a fish that should be stayed away from. There are too many other good dwarf angels to pick one that is difficult like this one.
A good food variety would be a mix of frozen foods such as the Ocean Nutrition line. I would do a formula 1 and 2, as well as a green like an algae and then an angel formula also.

Try asking if anyone has a Potters over a year old. Take a look at Rusty Angels, same basic colors and they aren't prone to "sudden fish death syndrome". and, they're on sale Rusty
