Figure 1. 25 day post hatch Purple Masked Angelfish larva. Over the past year while working on our Rising Tide project, the larval rearing work has focused on the Purple Masked Angelfish Paracentropyge venusta. We had success on our fifth rearing trial in getting the larvae to the juvenile stage. That larval trial started in November of 2013 and the success was most likely brought about through the use of wild plankton collected from Kaneohe Bay. Plankton was collected almost daily in an effort to provide the larval fish with the necessary nutrients to get them through the larval phases, past metamorphosis and into the juvenile stage. Although we were happy with this accomplishment it meant that larval rearing of this species might be dependent and only possible in areas near a source of wild plankton. by Lemon T.Y.K | Aug 19, 2024 | Fish
After last week’s foray into some rather unbecoming “reef” fishes, we’ll make a Uey back into familiar territory. Literally nothing is more familiar to the casual aquarist than angelfishes and surgeonfishes.… by Todd Gardner | Oct 18, 2021 | Aquaculture, Fish
It’s been an eventful year for the advancement of aquaculture, particularly for angelfishes. For the first time since the 1970s we’ve seen Pomacanthid angelfishes reared in intensive culture conditions.… by Admin | Jan 30, 2019 | Fish, Photography
I shared some images of Caribbean Pomacanthids a little earlier, so I thought I’d better balance things out with some angels from the Red Sea region. My first is one of my favorite fish and one that I knew the name of well before I ever became interested in diving or... by Marcin Smok | Nov 5, 2018 | Events, Fish, Industry
I started my venture into the aquarium hobby in a sort of run-of-the-mill way, a story I probably share with countless other reefers. I brought home a small freshwater tank, decorated it with some random rocks and a few hardy plants and then added a bunch of...
