Tivoboy Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I just got a cherub last week... nothing but LR and other fish though (watchman goby, blue assessor, 2 firefish) Anyone have updates on compatibility with corals before I start stocking my tank? Quote Link to comment

reefer21 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Originally posted by mollusk3D reefer21: i havnt had mine long but i have a feeling if you have the time, paitence, and balls they are great fish. just got one about a week ago, I love this fish! It likes to hide a lot though :|, but this is only when I walk in the room or sit in front of the tank. Sometimes I like to peak in the room and see if I can see him without him knowing it . Hopefully sometime soon the angel will get use to me and come out more. Quote Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 after awhile it'll eventually come out. my pygmy has taken to cruising the front glass and playing in the currents. still goes into the rockwork but just to change cruising patterns. only hides in the rockwork if my hands in the tank.

Jon B Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 can't figure out how to post images so here ya go http://www.nano-reef.com/gallery/data/500/...ubangel-med.JPG here's mine :-) unfortunately I just bought her home yesterday, and today I noticed a few white dots on her pectoral fins! crap... She's the cutest fish though, very curious and eats pods and other things off the live rock like mad. Quote Link to comment

Mine got a few white dots ,but soon went away with time and now enjoys the company of the cleaner shrimp for daily cleaning . Quote Link to comment
Tivoboy Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I just put the cherub in the penalty box (specimen container) for killing one of my red firefish. They had been intimidated into hiding for the past week and one just died of secondary infection/parasites from a wound. The cherub is a very interesting and active little fish - too bad it has a mean streak. The wife wants a docile tank so I will move it to the minibow 7g at work on Tuesday and bring home the purple firefish. Do you think the purple and red firefish will get along in my 24g NC?

wax32 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I've had a Cherub since April 16th. No problems to report with corals but he does pester my fire goby a little. Eats prepared food like a champ and also picks at LR for algae and pods. Here are some pictures. Quote Link to comment
Fishguy Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Nice, this was one of my favorite fish when I did just salt fish, about 10 years ago.. and it was the first fish I had in mind for this tank. mine is perpetually picking at things, but never harms it. Very active and knows every passage in my rocks. Quote Link to comment
Derby Reefer Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I just got mine yesterday. Thus far he is all about hanging in the rocks. If I look at my rockwork for a while I will see him as he swims through everything. I have a lot of hole and caves and the such, so he has plenty to do. Quote Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 rearranged the lr the other day. didn't see pygmy the next time i looked. found behind the tank. poor guy. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i thought id bump this thread to see how many people keep cherubs in their nanos. Quote Link to comment
froggiebunbun Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Just got mine today, here's he is acclimated and temporarily imprisoned Quote Link to comment
BrassMonkey030 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 as of today part of the angel club. couldnt help it.there nice looking fish. he is deep solid blue, (as far as i can remember, hes in the rocks.) Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I have one in my 46. I don't think he'd be happy to be locked in my 20h. A 20l maybe, but never anything smaller. Quote Link to comment
FUGU!!! Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 30$ for a maiting pair by my house. Quote Link to comment
BrassMonkey030 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) i dont know if i like it or not. i thought it was a cherub but looking at the pics, hes not. his eyes are smaller. hes solid dark blue almost black. with light yellow fins. 2 early to tell, but he may be a mean bugger 2. hes the only fish to bite and hold on to me transfering him over. dont care if he eats my coral. but if he touches my peaceful fish, hes going warp speed in any direction but my tank.

Argent Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I've got one in my 5.5G along with a cleaner shrimp and everyone's getting along great so far. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 are you serious argent? these fish are like tangs, they spend their lives guarding a harem in the rubble zone. a single cherub has the territory around the size of a 55g tank. i would say 29g minimum as the only fish.

BrassMonkey030 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 heres a pic of "evil" the angelfish. can anyone id? i hope he stays small like a cherub Quote Link to comment
chuckfullservice Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) Well this site accurately answered my cherub question and to see that none of the original poster's are still posting I would have to believe that all experiences with the cherub club have failed , I have read of multiple deaths , aggression and coral nipping and destruction . NO CHERUB FOR ME THANK YOU! Edited November 2, 2006 by chuckfullservice Quote Link to comment
Argent Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I still stand beside my Cherub angel and his non-destructive behavior. In fact he and my cleaner shrimp hang out all the time (I caught the shrimp cleaning him for the first time the other day) Quote Link to comment

Good call. Fridmani might get a lil aggresive too. Be careful. EDIT - 2 threads on Cherub's today, and I got em' mixed up. Man I am losing it! lol D Edited November 2, 2006 by FloorLord Quote Link to comment
Kogut Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 heres a pic of "evil" the angelfish. can anyone id? i hope he stays small like a cherub Not a cherub. Looks almost like it could be a juvi version of one of the larger angels. Don't quote me on it, tho. Could use a better shot from the side. Quote Link to comment
Argent Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Looks like a cherub to me -- hard to tell in that lighting but it could have a darker orange face -- but it's got the bright blue lower fin and a yellow tail. Quote Link to comment
