Not a question, so much an observation...

My angelfish seems to be having an identity crisis. He's still a baby, only a little bigger than a quarter, and the lone angel in the tank.
First, he tried schooling with the tetras, and last night I caught him laying on the bottom of the tank with the Bolivian rams. I thought he was sick or something at first, he's never done that before.
Poor guy, it's kinda sad and kinda cute, how he follows all the other fish around trying to figure out where he belongs.
Seems otherwise healthy, just a little confused.
 
Lol when I had just one in with my discus tank (he was about the same size as them) I swear he thought he was a discus... He was very content swimming around with them. I then moved him into an angel tank and he became the most aggressive fish i'd ever seen. I had to get rid of him! My theory is as long as he's happy I wouldn't worry about it!
