Hi there,
to take tank shots you need to 1) Turn tank lights ON
2) Turn Room Lights OFF
3) If you use a non-digital camera, stand back from
the tank about 5 feet to get proper focus for the full
tank shot.

Sounds great!
Just keep in mind that your angelfish will grow to be
8 inches or more from snout to base of tail, and up to 14-16
inches tall from top to bottom of fins, with the pectorals
dragging possibly even longer. Angelfish get huge.
You may need to upgrade them to a larger tank at some point,
depending on how they act to each other, and how tall
your tank is. If your tank is at least 18 inches tall, they will
be fine in it for life if they get along. If its less tall, you will need
to upgrade when they grow tall.
If they become friends, which usually only happens if they are
both female, then they should be fine. If they pair up (m/f) they
again will be fine. If they are 2 males, or m/f and dont pair up,
they will fight a lot and will need a bigger space for more territory.

Angels grow fast. If you got little ones like quarter size,
expect them to be hitting tea saucer size within
5-6 months. To ensure proper growth, do frequent
small water changes, feed approx. 5 times a day on a widely
varied diet high in protein (frozen bloodworms, egg yolk, cooked
chicken, chopped earthworms, a quality flake food, and even some
veggie flakes/wafers will be enjoyed). They will grow fast and
big and healthy this way.

Are you going to try to breed them if they pair up?
Angelfish will easily breed in a 25g tank and probably
raise their fry up if theirs nothin in there that can eat them.

Do you have anything in with them at all?
You could probably add a nice school of smaller cory cats
for the bottom if you wanted.
Pandas are super super cute.

Great choice on the Angels, I bout 3 dime size juvi's myself
about 3 weeks ago, kept them in my 10g and fed fed fed em and
changed the water lots, now they are silver dollar size and
have moved into the 75 g tank.
I hope to get 1 more in the future. I got a Koi, a Gold Halo,
and a Smokey Blue. I would like to get a Leopard too.

Anyway looking forward to better pics and congrats!
