Ok, I have a incredible opportunity presented to me but I presents a big problem too.
I have a 150G fowlr tank with:
1 large damsel (has been with me the longest but super agressive)
1 small chromis
1 small blue damsel
1 tomato clown
1 small huma huma
1 porcupine puffer
1 dog face puffer
1 snowflake eel
Most of my fish are small except for the puffers. porcupine is about 5 inches, dog face is 6-7 inches.
I adopted the puffers because some jerk was going to throw them out. The porcupine is not my favorite fish because he eats everything, makes a mess and limits me having anything else in there. He is agressive (dogface is mildly passive)
Ok, I needed to give you that background.
Here is the dilemma, a friend needs to move and asked if I would be interested in buying his fish. He has a beautiful collection of angels and he is offering them to me very reasonably price. I would much rather have angels than my sloppy puffer. (Sorry, I know people love puffers but Im not to keen on this guy).
He already has a deal with a LFS to buy them but he's offering them to me first. I have a newborn so its not as if I can go and spend big bucks on angels.
I dont want to overload my tank, shock my system or any of the myriad of things that could happen. Do I sell some and add others? How long should I take to make it easy on everyone?
Or do I pass on this chance and sulk about it forever?
Thanks
(and no, he doesnt want to sell them online to anyone, I asked)
