Got Me Some New Angels And Platinums

[deanoce]

Hi all, went to get my water tested tonight and all is well, so I picked up 2 platinum angelfish and 2 marble angel, all look healthy, but 1 of the platinums tails has been bitten a bit which I never noticed when I bought it . But other than that all their eyes are clear and they look healthy
I will post pictures tomorrow when the lights are on (i'll also try and get a good picture of the tail aswell)
Thanks

the bitten tail is no real issue , just keep the water clean and it will heal in no time .

Also, what percentage of water should i change every week with just these 4 angels, would 10% be sufficient?

Depends how big the tanks is, if there are any other fish, what filter you have ect. I would go for atleast 20% if im honest with 25-30% being best.

Its about 200l and i have an aqua manta 300 external filter, and no other fish at the moment how would that be?

I would still probably go for a 20-25% wc just to be on the safe side. What other fish are you planning

Probably 18 or so black neons, and 8 corydoras julii, and im not sure what else at this time

Very nice! When I do water changes (on angelfish, kribs, firemouths, ect.) I do not do a percentage. I always gravel vacum when I do weekly water changes, so I vacum the gravel in the tank until it all comes up clean. That's usually about 5 gallons of water.

Thanks for the replies
Thats interesting Kribensis, never heard that done before but i'll keep it in mind when i do my next one

Very nice, the platinum's are stunning.
In a 200l i would go for something like
4 Angels (if 2 pair you will have to get rid of the other 2 or they will bully then)
20 Cardinal tetra (Like neons but hardier and bigger so less likely to get eaten)
15 Corys
2 Keyholes or Red breasted acara

that would be a great looking tank IMO.

Thank you
I never knew they could pair off and bully each other What if they both paired off?
And couldn't the angels mistake the cardinals for neons?

If they both pair of then i think you will have to pick 1 pair and sell the other because the tanks not really big enough for 2 pairs because when they breed they can get quite nasty.
I doubt they would eat them because they look like neons because i doubt the recognise a neon it will just be by size weather they eat it or not.
