Alicia Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hehehe! Thanks Maria! How cool! I guess I've been MIA for way too long and didn't realize you got a Cherub. I just posted a lil update on my thread and am going to hopefully post some pics soon. I think your Cherub is adorable! But yeah...I would like a "bigger" fish that is active...and the fact that they will nibble algae is great too. I have a little GHA here and there...no a big problem, but still annoying...and might be a good lil snack for one! Quote Link to comment
got2envy Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I would def recommend one...I have had mine for atleast 4.5 months and I have never seen him nip anything in the tank I even started with some SPS in the tank and nada...he loves the extra room in the 29g Quote Link to comment
Alicia Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Cool...I'll probably look into tracking one down at my LFS next week...I'll let ya know how it goes! I originally wanted a lemonpeel, but after researching found out they can really be little buttholes, haha...so that's when someone recommended a Cherub. Quote Link to comment

flypenfly Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Fun personality, very cute. No problems. He stays mostly in the bottom areas although he does investigate the rest of the tank once it's lights out. I believe these things stay pretty small. 1 Quote Link to comment

orly20 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I know this thread has been resurrected several times but I have been thinking of getting one of these little guys. I have a clam and a mixed reef that's leaning more towards the stonie side. Please give updates or any personal experiences!! Quote Link to comment

I had one that never touched coral, 3 weeks after adding a clam he was pestering it pretty bad.. got him out of the tank that night.. still sad I had to get rid of him, he had so much personality.

orly20 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yea that's what's caught my interest in them. I read that they are a great addition to the tank, with the downside they may pick at your corals and clams. Quote Link to comment

jambon Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Have had one in my 20 fusion for a month. No picking at sps or lps. She picks at live rock for ???. Highly recommend one of these cherubfish. Quote Link to comment

gsechen Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 no issues with mines and its been 5 months already but they are super territorial and have stressed out new additions to my tank i.e. lubbocks wrasse Quote Link to comment

gsechen Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 my other fish was just a clown so he doesn't bother him since clown just stays near his euphyllias. I should have added the pygmy last. Quote Link to comment

lifeoffaith Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Looking at trying a trio harem in my Caribbean biotope. Anyone else here have experience with a harem? Also, does anyone have experience with Cherubs and bottom dwelling/rock dwelling gobies? I know I want Green Banded Gobies, but would love to have the Cherubs too, just don't want to cause issues for my GBGs. Quote Link to comment
BKATZ1 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 My Cherub has been a model citizen so far. He hangs out in a cave that the watchmen goby has a dwelling as well. Sometimes I see them quarrel a little, but nothing terrible. As for picking at corals he has not shown an interest in anything other then the live rock that has diatoms or algae. The tank is a 25 Lagoon and my livestock is 2 clowns, a watchmen goby, peppermint shrimp, and cleaner shrimp. The Cherub was the last fish added in the system so I think that helped with aggression a lot. It's a great swimmer, super active throughout the rock work, always investigating. Probably my favorite fish. Quote Link to comment

He was bulling the watchman goby more then usual and when I looked... he was missing an eye. I gave him one more day and when I came home today more chewed up acans and my branching hammer was completely closed so I assume he was poking around there as well. I didnt want to risk the coral anymore. I was extremely lucky netting him first try, while feeding, so I took it as a sign and he is back at the LFS... super bummed but things went south so quick. I guess it's a roll of the dice which temperament you'll get with these little guys. He was my favorite fish for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment

Seems like almost the same fish except the yellow extends along the whole back, but don't know about behavior. I just purchased One this past Tuesday, within a half hour in my isolation tank she was picking at the PVC Pipe to eat the Algae. Ive have also been feeding it Frozen Angel Formula. 1 Quote Link to comment
DSA65PRO Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I found out this is an Orange back Angelfish from the Indian Ocean, not a Flame back which is from off of the coast of Brasil. 1 Quote Link to comment
