Fletch Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 These guys seem to have settled in well. Always hungry. I think I might have a bit too much water flow but they learn where the slip stream is. :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hope so, depends on what someone has. :-)I want a pair eventually so I got five, Matt. Great looking fish. They really stand out in the tank.

Sarah Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ooh, they are lovely. We used to have angels in our community tank years ago, I remember how they stood out.. used to follow me around, were very interactive. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 You kept pretty quiet about getting these . They look good. What are your plans for when you get a couple pair off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I was looking for awhile. Remember at the last meet, someone had a few left but not for sale. I think Matt got the last good ones. Have been looking ever since. I found out one of the major weed suppliers has now started breeding fish due to the batch testing. They are breeding live bearers, goldfish and many others of the high turnover "bread and butter" fish. These are one of them. Obviously this is driving the price down and by the time I get a pair breeding, they will be fairly common. Got these guys for a steal. Really happy. Ultimately, if two pair off, I will see if the will breed in this tank. Will remove whatever other fish cause an issue and see what happens. At least 12-18 months away. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournebetta Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 angels! GAH! I was in the LFS and saw ONE perfect black angel (50c coin size) and I nearly swerved the Melbournebetta thing into a whole new direction. Stay on course ness, I'll just live vicariously through Bussy, Yan and Matt. They're so white! what size are they? hawt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Size of 20c, not including fins. Thanks Ness, they really stand out in the tank. They like to hang together, which is why I bought 5. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Are they just in one tank or is it community digs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 In my community tank Ness. The tetras will die off before these guys reach breeding age. Will remove anything that gives em a hard time but they should be fine. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 They're platinum blue arn't they? The blue is hard to catch on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
