Mandy's 130g Community Tank

No prob. Love their music.

Oh man, Kevin. I love Mumford and Sons. Showtime is replaying their concert in Colorado this month. It's great. CMT also had a crossroads special with Emmie Lou Harris earlier in January that was fantastic.! Thanks for posting the video.

No prob, Cindy. =]

Mandy, your angels look beautiful! They're going to be so happy in their big, new, roomy home. I can't wait to see your tank fleshed out. Congrats!

Thanks you guys. :)

I was crazy excited last night.

About 30 minutes after I put everyone in I watched one of my big white ones get stuck to my AC70, then wriggle off. Then one of my striped got stuck and couldn't get off!!! So needless to say I got him off, and proceeded to go into panic mode for the rest of the night. . .

I'm happy to say that after periodic checks last night it seems that everyone has learned their lesson about the big, mean AC, and are staying away from it for the most part. PHEW!

I don't know exactly what kind I have! The striped ones were simply labeled, Striped Veil, and the whites weren't labeled at all. They aren't albino, more like platinum.

Can anyone help me on that?

Angels are breed and cross breed so many ways there are a lot out there that really have no relation to std fish; the fish you have look very much (to me) like angels I've always seen - mcuh like the orginal breed. You might consider a sponge on the intake to perevent the issue with the fish.

Cool fish! They look like pearlscale altum cross to me.

Lies! That's totally poop and you know it. ;P

Looks great, Mandy. Everyone looks pretty happy if you ask me, and they're playing well together.

[CrunchyLeaf]

Haha "That is not poop."

They are sooo pretty. Once you have had them for a long while and you are sure of their health and longevity, do you plan to name them?

When you add 8 angels all at once like that, does the tank experience a little mini cycle? Or is there enough BB from the tetras and kuhlis and stuff to immediately handle the extra load of the angels?

[steeler58]

I love the size of your tank!!!

[MandyK]

Seriously! It isn't poop!!! Lol!!

So far I have had no conflicts with anyonee Kevin. Of course time will tell.

Cermet we have indeed placed a sponge over the offending filter. I have found the same angel stuck to it twice more. Hopefully this takes care of the problem.

Crunchy I most likely will name them after I get to know them. As for the mini cycle, it is completely possible that it could happen. I'm just going to have to keep an eye on it. I did a small W/C today, so I'll test tomorrow to see what the status is.

I love it too steeler!

Okay----------------- Calling all angel experts.

What do I need to feed these guys to grow them out properly?

As of now I'm doing TetraMin flakes, Betta Pellets (had them left over and they all love them), and blood worms every few days.
