Guess What I Ordered!!

[cockroach]

Just went to the LFS through whom I order my fish. I have been asking some questions about angel tanks lately as I am setting up a tank for each species of angel. Anyway, I check the stock list which is from basilaqua ( anyone know who it is? Is it Toyin? ) He had Leopoldi angels,Pterophyllum dumerilli "Manacapuru Longnose Angel" - ML, so I ordered six.

They will be arriving next week Tuesday. I am going to be putting them in my planted 55g and have started dropping the pH slowly down to 6.6 and will raise the temp to 30C by Sunday. They will be housed with a pair of rams, a pair of checkerboard chichlids ( Dicrossus filamentosa ) and 4 Corydoras metae.

Will post pics of the acclimatization and introduction when that comes around.

The guy at the LFS just called me and told me they will be at my house tomorrow after 10pm. The tank is now at pH 6.8 and 30C.

Here is a pic of the tank waiting for the fish.

There was a delay last night from the supplier and my guy at the LFS waited until 11 for the supplier but then decided to come today. So now i sit waiting again.

In the meantime, here are some pics of the leopoldi tankmates-rams, checkerboards. And my 6' foot tank that is housing my 6 scalares until I get their tank just right. In the 6 footer there are also 5 Cl ranging from 1-5" BGK 11-12" two pink tailed chaleus and a fei feng.

Ok the fish are at the LFS now. The time the guy wanted to deliver it, I have arangements and will be out. So we decided tomorrow morning 10am they will be coming.

This waiting is killing me.
