angelfish

my 30 gallon experienced a horrible Ich outbreak last week that killed my two adult platy, a "teen" platy and my two gourami. Now all I have left is a "teen" platy and two 1 month old platy. UNTIL I realized tonight that there are 6 brand new fry that I believe the teen had. With that being...

I noticed yesterday morning that my angelfish were being a bit too curious about my new dwarf grass in the aquarium. I have several little "plugs" that I separated from the clump placed around the tank. I know angel fish are omnivores but they weren't eating them. They just randomly grab a grass...

No picture yet, but I bought a large koi angelfish from my lfs. I had one already from a pair I bought two weeks ago but sadly only one survived quarantine. Funny thing is the new fish is a full grown female, the younger one is a gold angelfish with a body a little larger than a quarter (not...

I returned from a trip to the petstore after work as I had my eye on one of their new adult angelfish in stock. After returning home with my new angelfish I noticed my tank has a slight cloudiness about it. I can still see the fish and plants clear enough but it looks like I dropped a few...

Hey everyone I have a 20 gallon long freshwater planted tank that I've had for about 2 months now. It is cycled and the plants are doing AMAZING.    Throughout the course of the 2 months I had lots of trouble with the plants and didn't think they would grow but they are flourishing now and I am...

Hi, so my mom passed away 2 years ago and i just now decided to try out her passion with fish, I got her 55 gallon goldfish tank up and running with 5 fish in there currently. She had a 36 gallon that had a leak. I just removed the silicone and re sealed it. In a week i'll be looking to fill it...

Hello everyone. I am looking for a bit of help. I've got two angelfish that I am trying to determine sexes for, I have a feeling both are female, but I've never sexed angelfish before.  Also I have been observing breeding activity between my swordtails, so I am wondering if they are pregnant. I...

I just purchased 2 new baby angels today.  Before putting them in the water I checked my parameters and i have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite.  I changed the water and substrate before putting them in for weekly maintenance, put in stress coat, then opened up the bag from the fish store to set them free...

Hi all, yesterday I noticed typical ich symptoms (salt spots and cloudy eyes) and started treatment by raising the temp to 88 gradually (2 degrees per day) and adding ich guard. I have Proform-C which is a malachite green and formulin treatment. I'm not using hyposalinity because of using...

Hello everyone!  I have two angle fish that my wife bought about 18 months ago and were told that they were a male and female...not necessarily paired.  I didn't know anything about angels then so we took the guys word.  Now I've researched sexing angelfish, and have come to the conclution that...

Planing to get a 20 gallon for my nephew's room, was wondering what is the max number of fishes I can put in it. What I mean by that is, which kind of fishes I can put in there without overcrowding it. Already plan on putting 4 corys in there, no angelfish since I know they need their space, any...

So, I just changed to sand from gravel and I must say, my corys seem to love it..   *I just added the sand 1 day ago* *I rinsed out the sand twice before adding it in the tank*   - The sand seem to have two layers in it.... the bottom one seems dark black with no air pockets while top one is...

Hi, recently I have brought a large tank with lots of fish. One of the angelfish has a weird pink lump about the size of a pea maybe a bit smaller underneath it's bottom fins. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks

Hi all, my name is Sammy, I'm from New York. This is my first post there so I really hope that I'm in the right place, if not can I request a moderator to move this thread to the right section? Thanks   Anyways, I just started my hobby of having fishes as pets. So before getting them I did a...

Hello, I had a quick question about adding new fish to my tank. I have a 55gal and wanted to add 2-4 new fish to my tank. I currently have dension barbs, angelfish, neon tetras, boeseman rainbowfish, and a pleco. They all love each other. But I went on vacation recently and some of my fish died...

Hi! So, I just had a quick question...In general, can angelfish and rams live together, or are they too aggressive? Also, how many of each would you recommend in a 60 gallon long tank? I already have 1 angel, 3 adult platies and 2 babies, 5 runnynose tetras and 4 clown loaches. Thanks in advance...

So hi guys I'm back my mom bought me a 20 gallon tank and the good news is the two angelfish stopped fighting at last! Now, as you know, I have 3 female goldfish and two angels. And my mom's planning to buy another angel. Is the 20 gallon tank enough for them?    

First off one of my 2 angelfish just died...  I am so sad   I got her and her family young about 14 months ago, and ever since they murdered the others (and a 3rd died right after a cross-state relocation) it's just been this pair.   I'm sure I'm anthropomorphizing a bit here... but they seemed...

alrighty here goes,   I've had freshwater tanks up till now for quite a while, I'd say a few years 3 or so give or take, had all types of freshwater fish but now want to expand. I have an unused and good 55g tank with led lights (day and night setting (don't know if that matters)) I'm good...

Just wanted to share my lovely fish with everyone! Hope you enjoy! 55 gallon tank (for now) (: Can't get pictures of my shark catfish, they're way too fast.

I would love to know what kind of angelfish this is. And if it's a boy or a girl. I think he or she is a black veil angelfish. Thanks everyone! Sorry that the picture isn't great. I have to shrink the size of my pictures because they're always too big!

Hi I am new to the hobby. And most of my fish have died in the past 3-4 days. Tank is 65 gallons, water test is fine. I have molly, angelfish and guppies. The guppies are all alive but the others are dropping like flies. The tank is about 2-3 months. Ick started in the tank and I have raised...

Ok, well here are some photos of my tank setup and fish. I've just ..finally.. added some live plants. I hope they take!! Also good news on my four lined cat. His whisker grew back!!! Like brand new! Also a couple pics of my elusive sun catfish! Not very good but they are something.  

What's a really hardy but beautiful fish to have? my angelfish just get sick too often. My nitrated and p.h are low, I have a new canister filter, a bio sponge, a huge peice of driftwood, and I feed them a mix of brine shrimp, blood worms, and flakes. I have bottom eaters that clean up the...

Hey everyone, I am currently cycling my 125 gallon tank (about 48inches x 24 inches x 24 inches). Im trying to decide what to stock it with, which seems to be the hardest decision! So far i am interested in Angelfish, Plecos, and Bala sharks. I would like to choose larger fish because i have a...

So at the LFS back in early February, I bought these two angelfish. When I got them home I noticed that one had a slightly different dorsal shape than the other but didn't think much of it. Now the difference is much more noticeable and the one has grown much faster than the other. Is it...

So I recently began stocking my 36gallon bowfront and decided to go with a semi-aggressive theme. I added a pair of angels and a pair of bolivian rams to start with and everything was going great. I noticed my white cloud minnows were outgrowing their home in with my betta so I moved them over...

I have a fully grown angelfish who is approximately 5 inches long and 5 inches tall. She is the lone resident of a 20 gallon fully established tank. The water readings are all normal. There are 3 live plants and a couple fake ones. There is also a wooded decoration in the middle, which is not...

My half-black Angelfish has a pinkish protrusion in what looks like oviposterior area.  I only have 1 angel, and the protrustion is too big to be a sex organ.  The fish is about 3.5 - 4" in diameter.  Its been acting a little sick, hiding somewhat and seemingly less eager to feed at times.   I...

Hi All,   This is somewhat of a newbie question, but i've been running my tank successfully for 2.5 years now, so it's more of an intermediate advice question.   I have a 37 gallon tank with: 1 x half black Angel Fish (about 3.5") 8 x Diamond Tetras (2" max) 1 x Salt and Pepper Corydora   I've...

We need to break up our freshwater tank so have a variety of fish needing a new home.   Offers welcome. Flexible on prices - most important thing is to get them to a good home.   Collection, or may be able to meet midway if you're not too far away. We're in Forest of Dean, near Chepstow.   If...

Ihave a 26 gallon (24x14x20) community aquarium with a pleco and 4 danios. What would be the best centerpiece fish, iam currently thinking of either a.. -honey gourami -angelfish -opaline gourami What is your centerpiece/favourite fish in your tank and what would you recommend?

Hello! As some of you may remember, I have a 240L tank with a 100L sump setup, filled with bio-balls. Here are my tank stats: Planted: Somewhat (corkscrew Val, Amazon Sword, hornwort thicket, Elodea, some sort of creeper plant); far more to come soon Decor: One lava-rock arch. No driftwood as of...

I came home 1 night and my fish had 3 white spots so I took the carbon out of the filter. Cleaned it all in hot water. Added pimafix and melafix. Turned the heat up and added some salt. Then it got worse the next day and I cleaned the tank out more and removed the plants. Then this morning I...

I have been breeding angelfish for a fair while now. I have a 55g with 2 plecos, 2 dojos and 7 angels. 3 just little juvies. I had 2 others in before but I sold the one as his mate got with 2 other males in the tank and he got beat up. Then a few days later I come home to see the pleco eating my...

So I have a tank with two not-yet-full-grown angelfish, a goldfish, 6 neon tetras, a bottom feeder and a snail. How much should I be feeding them everyday? I'm just not sure. 

Hi all I am looking to sell my entire stock of freshwater tropical fish as I am closing my tank down. All fish are healthy and it would be great for them to all go to the same home. If you are able to help me achieve this then you have the lot for £25.00 Livestock: Angelfish Quantity for...

I bought some small angels because I am fairly good at determining sex even very young. But anyways. I was wondering how big the angels need to be from nose to the start of the back fin (so abdomin, ex nickle size cause they are round) till they can start breeding.?

So now that I've had my angelfish for a while and doing some research on where they come from and what their natural habitat looks like I thought that it might be cool to do a semi-biotope tank. Meaning I just want the fish to come from the same habitat/region ect. I know that angels coexist...

I figure I'll start a thread to chart the progress of this recently set up tank. This won't just be about plants but about my fish as well and I like to post lots of pictures   This first post will be fairly long as I'd like to go a little into the set up of the tank as well as how it is now...
