I got three baby angel's each about the size of a penny,


All right finaly can sit down, these angels are soooo small, they are going
in the gourami tank until the 120 gallon is finished being set up


Penny size is really young for an angel. Make sure they have a good
clump of plants where they can disappear and hide out. Dense plantings
with vertical leaves makes them feel safe, they think their stripes
(even if they don't have stripes!) are blending in with the leaves -
Vallisnaria, Saggitaria, Echinodorus, any of the stem plants, etc.
Also make sure they are getting plenty to eat - flakes of course, but
also freeze dried bloodworms or brine shrimp. Feed at least three
times a day while they're this young. Take good care of them, I know
you will.
