Blue Face Acclimation

[d-money]

I just purhased a 6" blue faced angel how long should i acclimate him hes been dripping for about 1 1/2 hours already.
will he eat my blood red shrimp?
:notsure:

I've never heard of an angel eating shrimp. I'm sure that they should be fine together.
I normally acclimate my fish using the drip method for about 2 hrs.

Here - I got this off of "somewhere" for you.
The diet should consist of Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysid or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items.
Don't know about this fish in particular - but it is the one fish my husband has wanted FOREVER!! If you would, let me know how it does.

well so far so good hes getting along with everyone besides for the yellow tang

they bump heads a bit but the Angels substancially bigger then he is. I guess its time for a new king to reign the 250. Some of the new crabs i put in arent moveing like they are dead should i be worried?:happy:

Well i woke up in the morning and my mom and dad had a gift for me, 7 inch blue face and 4 red crabs. They were purchased from a LFS. i acclimated them all seperately for about 3 hours. The Angel looks fine but the crabs look dead they hardly moove they just sit there. is this normal?
