Cheesejawa Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Tommorow I am going angel shopping so what do you look for when buying them. What is cheap and what is good quality. What is the difference between kois and marbles with orange? what should the fins be like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Fins should be straight and not bent etc, as for anything else just look for good healthy fish and what colours etc you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi All. It is an unfortunate state of affairs when you buy two or more "Really Good Looking" fish; take them home and breed them, and end up with all sorts of nondescript colours, patterns and even deformities. That is not to say don't do it; I had to start the same way and it just means that it takes an extra couple of generations to get the fish that "YOU THINK ARE THE PERFECT SPECIMENS." Jet "Black Lace Veiltails" are worth the time, effort and money. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ah, Caryl....just look at her avatar! Sorry, couldn't resist :oops: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi All. Thanks for that caper. I (him) not a her, avatar is the Female wild caught "Altum" angel that I used to breed from. My avatar doesn't show it very well but there are several more "Altum's" in there as well. This is the original picture we use on our letterhead. And taken from this my avatar. IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/amazonianfish/AdultAltumAngels.011007.jpg There are a lot of things to look for in ANY fish that you buy and if you want to breed those fish you must be more vigilant. Below is my latest aquisition, the TIGER STRIPED or ZEBRA Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZONIAN Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi All No she laughed and said, "Doesn't he know the difference with boys and girls; and at his age". :lol: She said she will have a couple of her sons or daughters to keep you company on the way home.
