Ok, thanks! It still eats, but uses its tail fins to swim more than the other 4 Angels...

They have atleast doubled in size and eat like pigs :naughty:. they are starting to show there blues, yellows, oranges and reds on there upper fins. I think they will grow up to be real stunners!

They are getting bigger and better colors each week! :naughty:

I'm thinking about putting the one with no front fins out of it's misery...it just floats around the tank with the current. But it eats and everything.

That's gotta suck! I'm hoping to get a breeding pair out of these, but we'll see...

wow I love the color on these plats! I haven't heard of platinums having yellow inbetween the blue stripes in the dorsal fin, they might be homozygous for gold gene?

Looking forward to updates :)

What kind of light do you have on this tank? Your plants look great!

I'm struggling to get mind to flourish. Think I need to swap out one of the bulbs.
