| Which one should I get??
Hi guys..I'm going to be finding my Angels a new home..They are not a pair and my big one is being too mean to the smaller one so I'm finding them separate homes that they will be happy in...I'm going to get 6 juvenile angels..from this guy.. http://wichita.craigslist.org/pet/1019622350.html
Do I get the Koi or German blue blushers  ..Help me pick. You can see the pics on there too..Also he says some of the Koi's will be pearlscale..  |

| I like the koi, very pretty. It might be a good idea to get whichever ones will look best against your decor. | |

I'm excited about getting these pretties...I'm really wanting a bigger tank for them they will go in a 30gallon Hex but I guess for now I'll have to quit buying tanks..lol..Just until I get my fish room..Think I've decided to put in the basement instead of extra bedroom..I have good reasoning..There is no weight limit in the basement  | |

I wish I had a 30 hex, IMO that's absolutely perfect for a lovely pair of angels  ....
Lol, I wish I had a basement too!!! If I did I would get those industrial strength shelves and line every single wall with them and just have the whole room covered in tanks!!!! it would be awesome....oh, and then i'd have a huge one right in the middle, maybe one of those 250 gallon tanks i saw at animal jungle, they're more square than rectangular | |

| NOT FAIR!! I spend hours looking for a deal like that, I would have to try for a pearl scale koi. I would get a separate tank just for one, might have to get rid of the tv or something else useless. | |

| I say get the koi, but then again I am bias since I have two. | |

| I think Koi is winning so far...Do you guys think it's a good idea to mix the two kind?? Or should I play it safe and just get one or the other?? | |

| i'd play it safe, you'll probably have a much higher chance of two of them pairing off if they're the same kind | |

| Tough choice, both are great angels but I'd probably go with the blue blushers. | |

| I have a koi angel, but I have no idea what pearl scale means. I assume it refers to pearl white scales My koi angel's body is about the size of a half dollar and has silver, almost reflective coloration on her belly. Is that pearl scale?
Is that rare or desirable? She's the only angel in our tank, and honestly we don't know if it's male or female, but it's my girlfriend's baby and she decided it's female, so that's the end of that discussion...lol
But seriously, tell me more about this 'pearl scale' thing. Should I consider finding a mate for breeding purposes? | |

to answer one of your questions, it might be hard to get "her" to pair up now, generally the best way to do it is to get six juveniles of the same size/shape/type etc and hope that you'll get a pair out of them, and then return/sell/re-home the rest or to buy a proven breeding pair ($$$$!!!). since angels can't be sexed unless they lay eggs, i think your best option is to just leave her by herself. | |
