Andy - I will keep that in mind for the next snowfall. I made a 10' high snow pile for my kids to sled down.

I want to get these two type of angelfish what kind are they

 

[mike gergley]

2nd one

 

[delfisherman]

The first is a gold marble and the second is a wild fish

I took some pictures of my babies but my phone had a hard time focusing in.

The first is a gold marble and the second is a wild fish

Interesting. Here we call the first as a koi angel. I don't want to embarrass myself with the second so I won't take a guess

 

[delfisherman]

I thought that was a gold marble its not really that orange if its a koi

Hello all, I found this thread last night and all I can say is WOW! Tons of great information and knowledgable folks. I especially enjoyed reading about Andy's dive back into breeding.

I have kept fish on and off since I was around 10 years old and have recently found myself interested in the hobby once again. I have ordered six juvenile sunset blushing angels from a reputable breeder and will be making my entrance into the breeding realm.

Looking forward to following this thread and getting to know you guys.

Thanks for the information going to start my search this weekend

 

[delfisherman]

I would look on aquabid. Ive gotten alot of nice angels and juvies from there.

 

[mike gergley]

I have bought a few fish their with good results. Going to look at a few LFS this weekend, if no luck I will probably go that route

My koi parents have almost no colour in them. Mostly white with silver and black splotches and a faint yellow orange spot on their nose. At first I didn't like them because they weren't what I envisioned angels to look like. Since they've become my favourite because of their quality with long straight fins. So much crap out there

Welcome to the thread and I'm sure it will be a pleasure to get to know you!

I understand that. I gave my fatger in law 6 adults that were like that but he put algeacide in the tank and didnt know and wiped all his fish out. how are the babies colors orange or splotchy like the parents?

 

[Karay]

I have some that are almost all white and some that are almost all orange and some in between. I was surprised with the first spawn I saw orange. I'm like where did that come from? ?

 

[delfisherman]

I bet that was exciting to find out. Im excited to see what my blue babies are gonna come out to be.

 

[Karay]

How blue are the parents?

 

[delfisherman]

Ill take a picture of them when i get home. They are from lee gordon of angelmania.net

To the best of my understanding, a "KOI" Angel shows the colors White, Orange and Black. Since the fish in this pic lacks Orange, I'd have to say that it's not a "koi" but a gold/ marble as well. Here's the kicker tho, it could have KOI genes as the body seems more white than gold. You may want to check with The AngelfishSociety.com to get a better understanding of the phenotypes that are being recognized as pure strains.
Your second pic I'm 99.9% sure is of my FAVORITE Angelfish of all times. It's a true ALTUM Angel. These are a tough fish to keep however and very demanding of their water parameters. It's best to get 2nd or 3rd generation tank bred Altums (if you can) than getting wild ones. You should have better success with them. Keep in mind that these are not your regular Scalare Angels and may not do well mixed with today's home grown Angels.

Hope this helps
