...so she has a 10g guppy fry tank and a 27g as her main tank. Well, a few weeks ago, she gave me her CAE (she just didn't like it, and didn't want to flush it, and the lace she bought it from wouldn't take it back). Last week, she gave me one of her baby guppies. Today, she calls me and asks if I want her full grown, 5 year old angel. Sure, why not?
As it turns out, she has had multiple deaths lately (mostly neons, are you surprised?) and is rightfully blaming it on the angel. She has had this angel for over 5 years now, since he was dime sized. She decided whe wanted to kee neons with it, and just couldn't figure out why he was eating them
So, she give him to me...for free...
He is doing good so far, I was afraid of her tank having OTS (she never does water changes, just tops off the tank) so I acclimated him the same way I did my GBR's. He is huge too, defintly the biggest fish in the tank. My koi angel is really curious, but no nipping, so I guess they are getting along alright. He is leaving everyone in the tank alone, just haning out back in the corner.
I am really glad she gave him to me too, everytime I looked at him in her tank, i felt really bad for him. Her tank is way overstocked, imo, esecially since she never does water changes, and it is filled to the top with plants and decorations. He had no room to swim around, hardly enough room to turn around and change positions. So I think he will be much happier in my 55 with plenty of oen saces to swim
