I bought two marble angels from petland yesterday. The tank they were in was unusually clean and had no dead fish. I took them straight home from the store(20 or so minute drive). I floated them for 1/2 an hour and then let them into a empty 30 gallon with a radican sword. They are really calm and swimming around well. There are no signs of diseases on them or the other fish in their tank at the store(danios).

I was wondering if I could put them and the radican sword in the 55 today or should I wait longer?

Please respond.

Thanks,
Cory

Give them at least a week Cory, then any disease they may have been exposed to will have shown up
What temp are you keeping them at? When I quarantine new fish I keep them at 82F to make sure the stress of being bagged and moved doesn't bring on a case of ICH. Angels also like their water a little warmer
Now... Where are the pictures of these lovely new angels?

They are at 81-82 atm. I put them in another thread but I will post them here as well.

Yep. They are really scared with the light on though so I am leaving it off today......

They're beautiful marbles.. Lights off and low at first is good, and approaching the tank slowly so they can start to get used to you and all. Our Fred started out timid, but now he swims up to the glass when i get near it, or Stacy.. anyone else sends him hiding though.
