Well its been a while, but I'm back. (Didja miss me? lol 
)The angels are 5 weeks old now and looking like angels. I had a near catastrophe a while back when I fed some microworms that had apparently gone bad and lost about 100 fry. After a good vacuuming and a massive water change I am left with about 75 - 100 angels. I guess it was a blessing in disguise because now I am left with a more managable number of fish.
Maybe I like living on the edge, but a more managable number of fish just seemed wrong sooooooo ............ I replaced 2 of my 10's with a 30 and let another of my velvet swords have fry. 2 batches born 2 weeks apart for a total of 90 new fish. (that includes the 40 that I already told you about)
Also ...... A friend of mine had a male gold marble veil angel that he wanted to get rid of because it was mean. He told me that I could either keep it or sell it and give him the money. I have a nice gold (unsexed until just recently) that I want to breed so I thought I'd take a chance and see, fist of all, if they would get along together and, secondly, if my gold was a female and if maybe they would pair off. It turns out that yes, they got along, yes my gold is a female, and yes they paired off and spawned. None of the eggs made it to the hatch stage, but being their first spawn I am optimistic that they will be successful in the future.

I know everything I want to do and where to get all the supplies, now I just have to figure out how and where I can send within the US.
