URGENT ADVICE NEEDED for new arival (Angelfish)

okay.. so I ordered a bunch of the beautiful "fry" from Angelmania.net. they came in fine I house them in a 40 gal....10 fish to be precise. Now I'm in a bind because I purchased a breathtaking Pinoy Blue clown to, hopefully, pair with my female of the Pinoy blue. Now this is where it gets tricky. I had a tank set up for his arrival (My Hospital) to quarantine. But this morning I noticed a white film on one of my pre breeder Black veil's. I immediately put him in the hospital tank with out a second thought as I house 7 other's in that tank I'm hoping to get a couple pairs out of. So today I got work that the new Blue male is awaiting my pick up at the post office. My dilemma starts here.... I have no immediate solution to housing him. The forst thing that came to mind was splitting the fry tank per a divider as the fry were just added yesterday morning. Is this acceptable in my position? I have many 5 gallon buckets and extra sponge filters I could use to house him for the short term I just don't want to cause any problems with my newly arrived batch of fry, nor do I want any issues with my male. Help would be greatly appreciated as I'm leaving work in an hour to go pick him up. Please help....

 

I'm guessing that the male is adult sized?

Just a heads up, I bought from Angelmania as well and some fry didn't make it. I suggest you do daily water changes with the babies until they get bigger.

 

Yes make is pre breeder /breeder size. Angelmania.net sent me numerous extra so I'm assuming that's a foresight. But I'm acclimating him now

 

If you're acclimating the subadult I assume you've figured out where you're putting him then?

 

I don't have a choice I have to split the tank for now unfortunately

 

Do you have another suggestion?

 

I've had mine with subadults since the beginning with no problems. Since they're so small I guess they don't see them as threats. Your angel could act differently though.

Let us know how your babies do.

 

Will do... He's in the tank now doing well. Just have a divider up for now. I really wanted to quarantine separately though. My main community has 10 angels ranging from adult to sub quarter size but were added slowly
