Default I got a pair of breeder Angels


Said they were about 2 years of age......IIRC as I looked at qiuite a
few differemnt fish, so I may be wrong on these as to age...OUtside
preforms have about 20 more deg to go up and styay at that temp as a
minimum for a week or two and they will then be placed outside in a
preform. For now thou as I told Gill they are in a 40 gal heavily
planted tank....My pick up a dozen or two neons tomorrow, or so.
Been feeding the angels krill and chopped silversides and they like it
just fine. As well as cichlid pellets. I know th ewilversides is a
salt water fish but they are high in protein and on the label has them
listed for cichlids and other meat eaters of fresh and sal****er
species.....

Right from a breeders &ishroom......I picked them up when I was at
the coast earlier this week. I stopped by a lfs there and I inquired
about angels and he did not have what I wanted, but looked in his
book.......and he gave me the address of a person & 0hone # that
rasied them. I gavce the fella a call and he said he would part with a
pair /r some of his other stock, and since he was not too far out of
the way, I went for a look..........Just typical common silver
angels......

He also had some KOI angels, and I thought long and hard on buying
some of them, but stuck with the regular silver.

I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know!

Way to go.
Did the breeder let you know how old they are?
I find many Koi Angels to be aggressive. I don't know what it is about
them, but they seem to have a bad attitude gene.
