Bought 3 New Angelfish

[love cichlids]

I just bought 3 larger angelfish from the other pet store that i deal with. They look really good, when i got to the fish store i seen that they were larger than the last ones i bought last week and did not seem stressed at all. I put them in the tank after acclimating them and was able to leave the lights on for them. I fed them a little of frozen bloodworms tonight since the store said they got flakes in the morning. I seen one eating a bloodworm which is a good sign. They were swimming around the tank looking great. So far so good, alot better than the 4 tiny ones i got from the other fish store last week. I think they will be fine. Might have some pics tomorrow, know one is a marble but not sure of the other 2, just know that they are not marble ones. The store said they get all different types and they put them in the same tank.

Put on the fish lights this morning to find the angelfish resting on the bottom of the tank and I thought "Oh no". I went to feed the dogs, other fish, and make coffee. Went back to check on the angelfish and they were swimming around the tank fine. I guess that is how they sleep . I am so relieved, they are still alive this morning and doing great

Aww i hope they do good for you.
One of the reasons i bought a bigger tank was to get angels.Unfortunately all didn't go to plan as one of them got very aggressive after a few weeks and the other two died when about half grown from the bullying.However the survivor is now much bigger and gets on ok with all the other fish though i won't be putting anymore angels in there.

i have heard this happen before, hope they do ok with eachother. Won't be putting any other fish in there with them, maybe cories, but not sure. Want to see how they get along for awhile first. Love the panda and spotted cories.
