Hi Not really sure I understand, I always thought the adult Koran was a bit bland, is that what you mean?

is the fish litterally swimming in circles?

 

[reefsane88]

no not literally in circles lol hes happy just dont wanna see that white and yellow blotch in the middle of him its taking away the purpose of me buying him for his color and wanna help him if i can to become this stunning animal once again sooner than later help me out dont understand bit bland ive never heard this term

 

[frank180reef]

Hi
IMO the adult korean is fairly boring, grey if I recall, the emperor turns from a stunning juv to stunning adult
Still not sure I understand but he will change colors going from an adult to juv and IMO the coloration is expected but not as nice

the adult Korean isnt yellow

 

[Bobbofin]

He will be beautiful when fully mature. A nice stunning blue outline, tan and yellow with circles. If you are patient you might be surprised in 4-6 months. Enjoy the transformation and relax. Again, enjoy!

I Imagine you have seen what an adult looks like...............and not to be rude but I dont see much yellow. In addition, I am sure you have read up on this, but when Angels transition from juvis to adults they are under stress. It is analogist to human going to though puberty

[frank180reef]

Well I hope your right, the color is certainlty nice
I have never seen the adult Koran yellow,,

My "Marine Fishes" pocket expert book actually has the same pics as reefsane88, however when I had a Koran it was like the above pic.

Careful with pH buffering using baking soda. Pretty much all pH buffers I know of will have a direct impact of raising alkalinity so be mindful of that if you want to raise pH.

if i monitor carefully and airline it into the tank in small amounts evry couple hours would that be ok
