thank you my angel

what are the parameters they like best?

They are amazonian, so for the most part, they will do best in soft, acidic water. a good range would be:

pH 6.4-7.0
0-6 degrees GH
temperature 76-80F

They can live ok in harder, and more alkaline water than posted above, but those parameters are most like that of their natural water conditions.
 
prices and patterns

I've been wondering...

How much do you usually purchase angels for (or see them sold for) and what kinds of patterns are your favorites on the angels.

In my area, they are usually between $5-$10 for a nice specimen. My favorite patterns are the ones that look like tigers. Especially ones that look like a cross between a tiger striped, and leopard spotted. those are sweet!
