I would have no problems selling the young angel’s (or any young fish I happen to breed if he wants them) to the LFS. I think there would be a better market in gourami’s or pleco’s (especially the dwarf pleco’s as they only order the sailfin pleco’s) though, as neither arrive here […]

Turboncoupe76,
Well… you’re saying that as if you don’t like Bio-Spira. I hate to burst your bubble but Dr. Tim’s One And Only is the new Bio-Spira. Dr. Tim Hovanec invented Bio-Spira (among many other advances in the aquarium industry) and then when Marineland sold out to Tetra, Dr. Tim formed his own […]

This thread has been trimmed too much but if I remember right, your FW tanks had a pH of 7.2… right? If your 48 hour baseline is only coming […]

Amber, As opposed to the wild silver/black-stripe (natural) color pattern which, by its very definition, is fairly constant it will be noted (as you’ve already indicated) that Koi Angelfish’s color pattern can vary considerably even within a given spawn. Your Koi Angel will not develop any more black spots, […]

what is the dimension of your pond? that is the problem with preformed pond compare to a pond being custom made since you can put more depth and width to it as long your water quality is good then no problem unless you bought the jumbo breed kois if your koi […]
