[redman1221]

I just got a juv Mata tang

on thursday, I am soo happy I will take a picture of him when my lights come back on. I got him from my lfs store this is the first time they ever had one and I got him. I could not pass it up for the price.

Thanks but I had them QT him for 4 weeks before I got him so he is in my main tank, so when the lights come on I will take a picture of him. My lfs does stuff like that for me I have been going to them for a long time.

Ok I am sure you know what you are doing. My only concern and I mean this with all due respect towards your LFS.( if they are holding a fish for you for 4 weeks they are good friends) If they do not have a segregated tank to qt your fish but rather have interconnected tanks you still run the risk of ick as well as other infestations

Yes they have a qt tank in the back of their shop and yes I would consider them friends, I have been going to them for 5 years now and they would hold a fish for me all I have to do is ask.

Then go with it and again I was only showing concern for your tank

Thanks redman. To be honest I always enjoy vids more then pics anyways....
Mata looks thin, but nothing some TLC can't fix.

Yes he is a little thin but I will fatten him up soon enough. He eating everything I put in there so he should fatten up soon.

I don't have a lemonpeel angel anymore that angel that I have is a flagfin angel. But when I did have a lemonpeel it only ate my open brain coral and nothing else, get one only if you don't have any open brain coral.
