Angel fish

[Paul_MTS]

I'm going to be taking home maybe 5 juvvy angel fish probable over this weekend.

Although I'm not too sure which type to go for, I'ved seen scrolling thorugh pictures in the pictures section but can't find any of the black angels.

So far its pretty close between striped and marbled. Just wondering if an of the types are easier to breed?

Also do black angels stay totally black or do they develope more patern as they get older?

darn 50/50!!

how many mature angels can you keep together? it will be in a 4ft tank(360litre) `can't rember the other dimensions, about the same as a Juwel rio 300

i don't even know if u can get the black kind can u ?? just umm marbled ones that look mainly black. when i went to choose my angels i chose only the ones with the most black and since then my sister has been trying to find black angels

KOI ANGELS!

They are orange with blushing cheeks and the pearl white scale with black spots and black marbeling. My favorite angel by far. Veiled Koi are the bomb!

I'd go for the ordinary color - striped I mean. I also think they are ment to be the hardiest and easiest to breed. The marbled ones are nice too. The fancier types are cool but harder to breed and I've heard they are more fragile. Why not get a mixture? I think your tank is about 90 gallons - you could keep several in there... I think you could probably keep 10, if you plan to breed, without problems - maybe more. Are you going to have any other fish in with them?

There are many varieties of angels.Going with the regular ones(stripes) is OK,but if you want to have some fun and variety go with blacks,kois, golden,marbles,ghost blushers,etc.
I second Jordan with the gorgeous kois.I will post one of my young female.

PS..It's true some of the more fancy types are more delicate,but it only means you have to be more careful with the H2O parameters and diet.If you are taking care of your fish correctly you have nothing to worry about.

well i got the black angels in the end, 5 of them.

so if i can have 10 in my tank and yep it's 89UK gallons when i get it i'll look our for some koi angels as there lovely, i can't stand viel tails though i think they look so un natural.

oh and as far as mid/top swimmers angels will be basically it but the bottom will be very busy with plecs, loaches, doras maybe pim pictus in there and lots of plecs.
