What's available at LFS...?

I have no luck with Chevrons :irked:

I just lost the fourth one that I've tried in the past year :sigh:

What do you think the problem is? Was it eating? I have mine for a week now. It is in my refugium and eating well but kind of small (2 and 1/2") and skinny. I may put it in the main tank this weekend.

Steve & regal,

I can't pinpoint why I have problems with Chevrons, I also thought that they were not a difficult fish to keep in captivity.
They're almost similiar with the bad track record I've had over the 20 + years with these two other fish from Hawaii: Potters & Achilles.
Some do well for a couple of months then dead, some never get going from the beginning.
I've limited myself over the years with these 3 species but every now and then (like now), I get an itch and think that I'm a better educated hobbiest in terms of care but the Chevron has kicked my butt 4 x in the last 13 months.

In particuliar with the Chevrons lately, all of them were not hearty eaters but they did pick at food. They all went into established reef tanks and picked at the rocks and accepted some prepared foods.
I must be doing something wrong, yet when I purchased my Golden angel, he didn't take to prepared foods for about 2 months yet survived on the LR & my Regal angel also didn't start eating prepared foods for 3+ weeks and also survived picking off the rocks.

If any one knows a LFS has electric flame scallop, please LMK. I would like to look at them since I still have no pics to compare mine with despite my efforts to ask advanced reefers and search the web.


Thanks. Thanks.

Fishtown has 2 golden flake angels. 3 CCB. Lots of yellow and kole tangs. Some OK color acro. LPS etc. I didn't buy anything from them today though. Caution has served me well esp. buying from fishtown if you know what I mean.
