Default angel & gourami's

I got three baby angel's each about the size of a penny, and two little
blue gourami's,
if any one is around should I just float them in the tank, I got them
about an hour ago.


You can do that but start adding small amounts of water every 10 minutes or
so until the water in the bag is mostly tank water. You may have to spill
some off before starting to add your water.

This is what I have always done however I think netmax told me before when
I got fish last time that when you open the bag, something happens to the
water that can kill them, I have not taken the rubber band's off the bags
yet, so any suggestions maybe I should just get a container and add some
of my water little by little instead of doing it in the bag as I normally
would.


That's how I do it. Then when the water in the container is mostly my tank
water I gently remove the fish from the container and put them in the tank.

ps when I am done with this I wanted to post about this place I went
today, its kind of a fish store they have three floors of breeding tanks
and fish, they had full grown discus, and so many different Cichlids,
pretty much any fish you could think of, he had angels that were huge they
breed them their they were beautiful.
