i think you should do some more checking on the bushy... but i have never had one that bothered anything... here is a little infois largest at the head and has a forked tail. The dorsal fin is generally held tight to the body while the pectoral fins have thickened first rays with small barbells. These fins can easily get caught in nets and may also puncture the unwary finger. As the name implies, the males will develop a network of bristle about the mouth and head. Females may develop smaller ones, but the male is the one that lives up to its name, Bushy Nose. Growing to about 5 inches in the wild and aquarium, these species make great aquarium scavengers for algae and generally will not bother other plants. They prefer a rock cave or piece of driftwood in which to hide during the day, spending most of their time attached to one place. The under slung mouth of the Bushy Nose Pleco will act as a suction devise to hold the fish in place and allow it to rasp algae off of rocks, plants and glass. Their diet can be supplemented with algae wafers and blanched zucchini spears or shelled frozen peas. Coloration can range from an orange/brown to brown body and fins with light and dark spots that might be in a pattern or not.

At what age do you think I should move the baby angelfish into the 55 gallon? 2-3months??

i think that would be entirely up to you.. the more spread out they are the more room they have to grow... so when your up to it do it.. 
sometimes they are already in the bigger tank.. but a month old is okay to move them.. just use a very soft net..Tropicalfishking;3710769; said:
Ok.
I've stopped doing my water change in the evening because I don't have the time. Will this effect the look of the angelfish, or, will they get stunted. When I do a water change in the morning I make sure to get every last bit of food, poo, dead babys off the tank bottom.
Should I make a better efffort to do a water change in the evening, or does it not matter that much??...
