Not for a moment doubting your vast knowledge , but I suppose that's why I was looking for evidence from people who have actually tried to keep these alive.
I have done some more research, and have found that this fish collected in the Philippines is 99.999% doomed to die within a couple of weeks. Those collected in Indonesia fare no better. There is more hope for Indian Ocean, and Red Sea specimens, but even those don't stand a good chance of LONG TERM survival.
I am expecting more from the baby (1.5") Three Spot Angel (Apolemichthys trimaculatus) I bought yesterday. At least he eats Mysis like a maniac.
