    Ursi has pretty angel babies.
    Omg! soo cute, especially the white ones.
    Makes me want them, but I know they don't do well (I think it has something to do with my extremely low pH).

    My PH is 6 or below in my tanks and they love it.

    Yeah, angels should be fine in a lower pH setting.

    that's what I thought, but you may recall my pretty kois...dropped like flies and the tank readings were stable so clueless?

    Koi's are really interbred bad, Color enhanced and force grown. Not the best investment at this time unless you know who you are getting them from and their linage.

    Platinums are pretty safe to buy at this time.

    wow, that's a really good deal!
    I'll have to check them out, always checked for others but not the angels for some reason (prolly cause my experience with the kois).

    So beautiful...I have two, one is "traditional" silver/grey striped, the other marble, looks similar to the one you posted but with less yellow. They were both the same size when I purchased them, yet the traditional angel is twice the size of the marble. Does anyone know if this is a strain thing, or a gender thing, or whatnot?

    I won't be selling at that one. Have an auction in Wausau and then ours here in Appleton. Then i am going to be getting ready for the ACA convention in Washington D.C. I should be out of fish for sale by june and then I can breed a few new species. Let me know how to get ahold of you at the GCCA. I can introduce you to Sid. I have bought a few fish from him including my group of Bulu Point Frontosa.
