swu, I love Scribbled Angelfish very much. I have kept two Scribbled Angelfish. Both are still alive in my tank. The first one is bigger and was 4" at first when I purchased it 8 months ago for $300. It is now 5". The smaller one was about 2" when I purchased it 3 months ago for $200. It is now 2.5". My experience in keeping Scribbled Angelfish is limited to these two fish. As far as I know, they do not need more special requirement than other Angelfish. They eat frozen brine shrimp, Angel Formula I and II, dry krill, dry seaweed, dry food, frozen red worm and fresh vegetable. In fact they eat any food that I drop into the tank. Water temperature in my tank has swung between 23 degrees Celsius in winter to 34 in summer. They are still okay although 25 to 28 is better. My big Scribbled Angelfish has been used as started fish to break in my second tank. It developed swollen left eye at that time but recovered after treatment of soaking in formalin and tetracycline. Scribbled Angelfish cannot withstand a new tank. It has developed white spot disease for many times. It can withstand sudden hyposalinity treatment from tank water to overnight tap water for about an hour before showing signs of distress. Other fish, especially wrasses, may have died in such drastic change in water condition. The smaller Scribbled Angelfish has developed swollen lower lip shortly after I purchased it. But it could still eat and recovered about 2 weeks later without treatment. It developed a small lateral line erosion one month after staying in my old tank but also recovered by itself. The big one has chased and bitten the small one at first. I rearranged the decoration and then replaced both fish into the tank to solve the problem. They can withstand each other for the time being. Scribbled Angelfish is not more difficult than other Angelfish. I think choose a healthy one from the start is more important. |
