Nah... he died about 30 minutes ago. Good thing he wasn't in there long enough for me to be attached!]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:11:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52752&PID=441109&title=bicolor-angel#441109 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52752&PID=441108&title=bicolor-angel#441108 Author: boysty

Im sure the other fish will be good. Hopefully the angel will be able to destress tonight and adjust to the tank]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:58:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52752&PID=441108&title=bicolor-angel#441108 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52752&PID=441098&title=bicolor-angel#441098 Author: McClure

We don't use a heater during acclimation, never even crossed my mind actually... good idea though!

Well, I guess if its just cold then I wouldn't have to worry about the other fish. I of course do not want it to die, but I am just as concerned about it killing the other fish.

Some times if you drip them that long with out a heater in the container the water gets really cold]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:06:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52752&PID=441095&title=bicolor-angel#441095 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52752&PID=441090&title=bicolor-angel#441090 Author: McClure

So we bought a bicolor angelfish a few hours ago. It was fine in LFS tank, we brought it home and drip acclimated it for a bit less than two hours.

When sticking it in the tank, it immediately started swimming frantically in circles. It looks like it is doing cartwheels  then lays on sand for a 20 seconds or so and repeats the process.

I have never seen a fish do this before... is it normal? If not, will it make the other fish ill?
