I would also add if you plan to raise Angels you will not be able to keep anything with them if you want to be successful in Breeding and raising from fry unless you separate the pair or remove the eggs. The only other fish we keep with our Angels are Cory's and Bristle nose pleco's to help keep our tanks clean. We have found out that in order to raise these fish their are certain things you need to do.

I like male 2 for domestic and I like the look of 3(nice irridescent ventrals) and 6(really dig that green)
females 1,2 and 5.

I'd like to see male 2 with female 2 or 5

male 6 with female 1 would also be a nice pair

there are a few meds to keep on hand in the hatchery too.
flubendazole(flubenol) fenbendazole(panacure) levamisole HCl for parasites.
angels have shown to be vulnerable to camallanus and capillaria worms.
also issues with protozoan infections in the digestive tract.


also wise to keep Hydrogen peroxide available and methlyn blue.

I always keep maracyn and maracyn 2 on hand.

Thanks Star,

Great information, when you start breeding its not if its when you will encounter some sort of parasite.

Star has far more knowledge about disease and parasites then I , so thanks again.
