New 25 Gallon tank!
Love it!
I didn't want to say anything incase I jinxed the cycling. But it's totally cycled and my angel fish are doing awesome!!! It seems like a pretty big tank for just two angels, but they really seem to be enjoying it. I also have a female guppy, who used to have a partner, but it seems the cats were doing a little fishing. Poor little guy. When my friend comes over later, I'll get her to take a picture on her camera phone, mine is bust. I'm so excited, I'll post it later today. |

I remember how I felt after the 2 months of empty tank cycling I went through, stocking it with flame gouramis and zebra danios and man, was I proud. Congrats on the new tank, you'll find that eventually you'll stock a little bit more, but I know my tank is so underutilized cuz I'm paranoid about stressing out

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!
