JD_MAN was beating me in this category, some to none, so I picked one up for my community loach tank. Hopefully I can train it to protect the bubbles! LOL

wurm, you can pick up a lot of them around here for cheap... tons of breeding angels came from a guy around here and have spread all over Indiana...I am going to pick a few more...
 
Very nice Orange top Marbled Angel.
 
Picked specifically for the Orange. Are these called Koi angels, or is that different?

lol...It took years of training. That's a good looking angel you have there.
 
What temp do you keep your tank at?
 
I keep my Angels at 80 - 82 degrees. They can withstand very high temps and I keep them in the garage where the temps goes up into the 90s during the day.

It's hard to tell whether it is a Koi Angel. Koi Angels have see through gill plates that makes them look like they are blushing when young. It gets covered though with irridescent pigments when they get big. Another charateristic Of Koi angels which they continue to express in adulthood is that there are no straitions on their fins. Hard to tell with your fish though due to the dark pigmentation on its fins. Typically kois do not have the amount of marbling on the their bodies as your fish.
 
Thanks for the info! I keep the tank at 82 anyway.
 
Lordy!! How is it doing with the loaches? My clowns would harass the mess outa my uaru and angels...i guess they just liked the slow moving, big shaped fishies...haha. Looks amazing though!! Pertly! :D
