Hi... To my knowledge The Queen Angel has never been tank raised. The Flame Angel was bred in captivity but not the Queen (unless someone else has knowledge of this). I have purchased several queen angels from SWF.com all Juv. and they have been fine, except the last one which arrived dead.
Check out what other people say about swf.com since they started selling fish this way (u-build-it). I think it has dropped off a little. I do still order from here however. Here and flying fish express (a little more expensive). I do believe that fish you get on line are better than the LFS. The profit margin is less (they do not have to run a store) and they do not stock unreasonalbe amounts of fish in a small tank (inducing ich). I have never had a fish develop ich (in QT or otherwise) when ordering from online suppliers. You also get a warrantee which is unbeatable. Only downside is you cant pick your specimin. For Emperors it isnt a big deal because they basically all look the same but for Queens it is a big difference.
