Hi again everyone.

These are the baby angelfish that have been growing out, and they will finally be ready for new homes tomm. along with a few other fish. They are all pre-dime-dime+, and are about 5-6 weeks old.

Even though they are little, they make up for it with their attitudes. They already love to irritate each other. LOL!!!

They have a favorite little game. ( These little babies love to nip one of their brothers or sisters, and swim as fast as they can to the other side of the tank). Of course, the angel that got nipped is going to bite the one that is the closet to it, so it starts all over again.)

They are so much fun to watch.

( the blushers are 1 week older then the kois).

I know the pics are aweful, so I will get some better shots of them up soon.

The kois are from a white crown koi male, and a 40% coverage female koi. Some of the baby kois are already showing some orange, and yellow coverage, and some are black and white.

As for the blushers, they are from a superveil male, and a veil female sunset blusher pair.

They are eating on bbs, and finely crushed flake food. ( I took the pics before I fed them, because once you drop food into their tank, they go crazy). They are fed 6 times a day in small portions. ( just enough to fill their little tummies every feeding).

The baby sunset superveils make me laugh when they swim because their fins are so long.

All of these guys are such little cuties.

Thanks. I have found that they do. Typically the kois will start developing more coverage once they become larger and more mature. Koi's coverage will sometimes even go into their fins. ( that is why sometimes you see bright red or orange in the angels fins). The sunsets will start getting orange/yellow on their crown ( head) area. This color on the crown tends to darken with age. ( some of the baby sunsets already have this).
 
Wow , another nice batch !!!!!!!!!
 
Nice fishies!
 
Ohhh they are so cute!!! I love the blushing angels too. Koi angels are my favorite. The koi angels I got from you about 2 months ago are doing wonderful. They have grown so much. One was half dollar size now he has move than doubled. I am thinking about the blushing angels I will let you know!!
