Potters Angelfish

[rbrockm1]

I read that only experts should keep these fish. I was hopeing that someone could tell me why. They seem to have the same features as a flame angel but what i read could be wrong but these guys have PHD in Marine Bio. Anybody have a Potters angel and having success? Share please

I have done alot of research on Potters (I REALLY wanted one) and it seems that they have a dismal survival rate in captivity. I couldn't really find an answer why though, other than it is hard to get them to eat.
Stunning fish!

What about a Rusty Angel? Similar look but pretty easy. Rusty Angel
A.T., gotta love a store that sells any fish with less than 2 eyes for 25% off
