Angelfish

Nice looking fish.

Thanks, I love the pics you posted. Is that a particular breed, or just one that came out all black? I've not seen one like that before, it' awesome.

They are all black veils I have bought them on Aquabid from several different sellers. They have been a hardy and good looking bunch of fish.

What kind of fish go with angels?

What kind of fish go with angels?

I have kept cherry barbs, rainbow fish (boesmani & Turquois), black neon tetras, and several different plecos all with no incident. Just don't want to keep any "fin nipper" type fish with them or anything small enough they can get in their mouths IME.

Okay. How about some cories? And some black phantoms?

Corys would be fine. Not sure about the Black Phantoms but have kept them with Black Skirts before.

If they breed, would their tankmates be able to hide in a tank that size or would I have to move them?

Lots of fish go with angels and it's always good to keep them in pairs. Just make sure the tank is big enough for the angels to lay eggs and the other fish can swim around them or they may get violent. Also my male marble angle.

waiting for the pic to come thru the email from the gf phone, it works better than mine for fish pics it seems..anyways they were sold to me as marbled veiled angels, but willing to bet thats not quite what they are, one is black as coal, one is 90% black with a tiny bit of white/silver, the third is mostly black and silver with a touch of orange coming in while the forth is mostly silver with a tiny bit of black, and the last few days has started turning orange over the top part...

Anyone breeding angels? Im starting a project with angels flowerhorns an other south american cichlids

I am big into breeding cichlids ESP. SA cichlids to date my 2 favorites are Kribenses and my old pair of black vale's they were great always picked the heater or amazon leaf. I had them 6 years and made bank off the babies and the LFS loved me until on day they died. It was in the papers school closed along with local shops. It was on labor day I won't forget it....

 

[CTFlowerhornLover]

Do you have anything breeding currently?

 

[TheBlackSloth]

Blue acara's and julidochromis transcripts. I have 6 fire mouths in a 55 they are 2 1/2 inches and I'm waiting for a pair. They all ger frozen brine and beef daily and every other day freeze dried krill. And once a week live bloodworms and brine. The julidochromis like 5 baby guppies once and a long while.

 

[TheBlackSloth]

If you have any breeding questions like water temp triggers foods decor lighting ect.. I'll try and help out. What are your projects? Sounds like AF.

sorry about the bad shots, going to break down and buy a real camera next week on payday.

I would not put angels in any 20. Minimum I would go with is a 29.

Wow, he is absolutely stunning! What a beautiful fish!

Well i have a pair of koi angels in a 46 bowfront. I got them from a guy who no longer could care for them. They are proven pair but i have only had them about a week. Feeding them frozen bloodworms and tropical flakes also pellets. They love the bloodworms especially my male. I wanted to brees my male flowerhorn but he is too agressive. Had my 90 gallin split by egg crate with a female flowerhorn nothing happened took the crate to see what happens and he demolished her. Havent tried since. I got about 18 angels in a 90 pre breeders no pairs yet, got red, pinoy blues koi gold black etc in my 55 i got convict fry (nolonger have pair where donated to someone who purchased a tank from me) and 8 Thai silk flowerhorn fry (imported) i would love to breed a thai silk wish me luck i heard its extremely hard. Might buy a 210 with iron stand n 3 more 55 gallons.

I want to expand i breed n trade fry for gear at my lfs i want to learn to ship fish and make this a part time hobby.

 

[absolutangel04]

I have 3 angels (I know 3 isn't recommended. but in this one case, it works). This is Legion.
