I just got in a few Orinoco angels from angelfish USA who sent them with ups overnight shipping for 10 am delivery at the latest.....they got to my house a little before 10 and I live about 2 hours from the airport where they fly in from all the way up in Minnesota
I ordered some a little over a month ago, 8 Forkel. When they came in, things were a little rough. The water smelled awful, but all the fish were alive. A couple had some rough fins and 3-4 clamped fins. I temp acclimated them and put them into QT.
24 hours later, no more clamped fins. It is about 5 weeks later now, all are alive and growing well.
Routine was 1-2 75% WC/day for the first week or so. Then a 75-90% every other day for the next week. Then, a 75-90% every 1-3 days there after. I'm running 5 qt tanks ATM so sometimes I'm just like hey why not do another WC...
Pictures are the first day and today, 5ish weeks later. Don't have a ton of light on the tank and using a phone for pictures. They look better in person.

Really nice fish. I get some Orinoco's from them tomorrow. Hopefully turns out well.
Are yours medium or large, its hard to tell?
I was nervous ordering from them because dont have FED-EX, but looks like others have had good experiences with them.
They are mediums. They have probably put on 1-1.5 inches in height. They also eat almost everything... I threw in some invitro glosso because I bought to much (found an awesome vendor on ebay, cups were VERY full). Needless to say, they all attacked it until I fed them to distract.
