Will a Queen Angel get its adult...ah just read the post!!!

[ClaptonsGhost]

I almost put the entire post into my title. Anyway, I have had a Queen Angel in my tank for 3 months. He hasn't changed much in appearance so I was wondering if a Queen Angel in captivity will eventually get its adult coloration. This isn't it but it looks like this Angel:

Will it ever look like this? (Ignore the attached file. Can't delete it)

i have read in the past that juvenile angels in aquariums tend to never be as bright or dark as the adults in the wild. it has something to do with their diet.

Well, I am feeding them Angel formula cubes, plus I've got plenty of live sponge in the tank. Maybe that will help. Thanks. Anybody else?

From what little I know lol color will change as they mature but diet can play a role

ok so I'll keep feeding angel formula along with mysis and seaweed and hope for the best. There's enough live sponge to last years so...

i ment even with all that stuff. i gess thats why adult angels are so much more expensive than juveniles. but i could be wrong. i would just keep doing what you are doing thats whats best for the angel.
