Hello All:

I have been thinking about ordering some Angel Fish from this Website here. It's hard to find nice Angels in my area.

The House of Angels

Before I do tho....anyone have good or bad news to share? Ordering fish online can be risky I think. Any feedback will help much :)
 
I know they have nice healthy angels as Ive gotten a couple a few years back. I never did care for their prices or shipping charges. Take a look at Angelsplus or angels northwest. Outside of my own stock this is where I would get mine.
 
I've learned a LOT recently from the Angelsplus site! :thumbs:

Yup! I agree... I ordered 2 koi and a sunset blushing from Angelsplus and they are fantastic specimens! Angelsplus is very generous organization...in addition, I couldn't have picked out better fish for myself if I was right there with them.

Thanks for the feedback all. I plan on ordering 2 Koi and a sunset blushing too :D Can I ask what size did you get? The site is telling me dime or quarter sized Angels. I rather have the quarter size if I can.

P.S. Also Cali, is that a picture of your Koi Angels from angelsplus? If so, what a beautufil fish.

Thank you! No, actually that fish in my avatar is no longer with me. :/

My Angelsplus fish wiggle-giggle too much for me to get a good picture of them. All my pictures of them are blurry! :D :lol:

But, take my word for it, they are fabulous! One Koi has red (and I mean RED) coloring and the other is more orange. And the Sunset Blushing is a beautiful rainbow mix of orange, pinks and reds.

I forgot to add:


Yes, the site does say they could be between dime and quarter size... I was worried about that, too, as I didn't want to get dime sized angelfish. That would have been a problem because they would have been considerably smaller than the angelfish I already have.


My red Koi and my Sunset Blushing are quarter sized (if not a TAD bigger). The other Koi is more quarter sized (a bit smaller than the other two). Also, and the reason I said Angelsplus is a generous organization, I received an additional free dime sized baby Koi! I thought that was very nice of Steve (at Angelsplus).

The only teensie weensie problem I have is that I REALLY don't have room for the extra dime sized baby Koi...so, he's in a 10 gallon by his lonesome. :look:

Honestly, I might have to sell him or give him away, because I don't want to leave him in the 10 gallon forever. ...AND, I have 7 roughly quarter sized angelfish (yes 7) in my 45 gallon tank! Oh, what to do when they start pairing off! :hey: :hey: :hey: I'll have a problem on my hands... :fun: A good problem, though, I think.

Thanks for all the great info Cali! I'm placing my order tomorrow. I have searched weeks at my LFS, and none have good angels for sale. I'm going with Angelsplus and I'll update you all after I get my new beauties.

I just got off the phone with Steve. He told me all the risks and what to do when I get the Angels. Very helpful so far. They will be shipped on Monday. I'll get them on Tuesday and I'll update you then :D

K! ...I'm excited for you. :lol: It feels like I'm getting mine all over again. I did the drip method that Steve suggests and it worked like a charm. I dripped for like 3 or 4 hours and then I added one fish to the 10 gallon and then anther and another...

I was worried at first because once everyone was in the 10, they didn't move AT ALL. They all just hung in suspension for like a day. But, once I put some live brine shrimp in their tank, they started eating and associating me with food! :drool:


Then I put the 3 in the 45 with my others and all 7 of them are greedy fools together. The baby (as I said before) is still in the 10. I feel bad...she seems kinda lonely.

Anyway, take care and I'll wait patiently for your update. ;)

I got all three today! WOW what color! I mean, I open the box and have 3 very active Angels looking at me. Their fins & color are beautiful (To think, they are stressed still lol). I can't wait to get them into the Tank. I have a few hours left before I can add them in. I am very happy with the Angels Steve sells.

I will update after I add them into the tank. Thanks for the info Cali :nod:

Yeah!!!!!! I'm SO excited for you!! I feel like I've got my babies all over again... Were you like me when you got them? (Like a kid on Christmas morning) :p I had wrapping and tape and newspaper all over the floor. I couldn't stop looking at my babies.

Get pictures if you can. I'll try and capture some pictures of my babies, too, to show you.
