one of my 55 gallons started to leak thurs night on my power strip and almost caught on fire. had to borrow a tank from lfs for the weekend. new tank i was supposed to get fell through.......dumb people!
woke up saturday to feed my fish and what do i find, my breeding pair of jds dead! fry were great, parameters were good. they were on their sides and very dull in color. im guessing parasites? so since the bad luck, i decided to give all my fish to my lfs cause i wanted nothing else to happen to any of my fish.......so today i started to miss my fish, so i thought i would try something new, angels. i got them out of a tank that said assorted angel fish 1.99. any take on what kind they are?

One lookalike a Black Veil, the white one with stripes and red in the head could be a Koi, the others I don't know for sure.

What I know, is that when they grow up, two of them possible will form a pair, and will try to breed, and they will become aggressive to the point that maybe you will need to re-home the other Angels....
 
i know about the agression and ill cross that bridge when i get to it.......im just glad they are doing good after all the problems i had this weekend
