$5 dollar petco fish VS $120 dollar fish from online!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Hello everyone! I recently ordered some fish online and bought a fish from Petco to compare the quality of the two. The fish I bought from Petco was 5 dollars while the koi angelfish I bought were around 120 dollars with shipping. I had ordered the fish from Angelsplus.com and I am very pleased with my koi angels! Check em out!

MasterAquatics imo, it's nicer. I am more of a "purist", I don't like cor mutations, so the $5 Rio Manucapuru is a very nice fish. In the Netherlands, I'dd pay about 12 bucks for one of those (Although they come from a breeder that's known internationally, he was the first person to export captive bred red shoulder angels to the US)

Some are considered better, and they’ll fetch much higher prices when they produce brood. Also, they’re adults, so they’re more expensive. For sales price? Go for a higher end one.

Sometimes they are normal kois sometimes they are red. I haven't ordered them but ask them for any fish you want and they'll get it for you!
that Petco fish seems massive for 5$, you got a great deal on that fish :)

Finally somebody that is down to earth. I like that you admit to learning from other people. I watch a lot of videos just to learn different techniques and ways of doing things. Good job, keep it up. Side note I bought from Angels Plus too, and was very happy with the whole experience.
Quick tip for introducing shipped fish to your tank: Turn out the lamp for 12-24 hours, and feed your tank before introducing new fish. This calms out stressed fish that have been in the dark for 24 hours, and reduces aggression by existing tankmates. (Feeding accomplishes this too.) A good water change before your fish arrive is a good idea too.
Beautiful fish! Angel fish are one of my faves. Thanks for sharing.
I like the $5 fish It's beautiful Thanks to you it even got a good home
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. A person's value system determines the degree of quality and worth. I have a beautiful a blue zebra angel purchased from Petco and the blue in it is stunning. I also purchased a koi from That Fish Place and the color is distinctive healthy and all fins present. Your Petco angel is beautiful and a fantastic deal for $5. Personally, and Im sure others will agree you over paid, but hay Its your value system and what you thnk its worth

I've seen 2.5-3" Koi Angels at Petco for $12-$14 and they looked amazing. They are not common, but certainly available when you go to the major LFS in your town.
I don't know if any body else noticed THE LIT RED GOURNAMIS IN THE BACKGROUND!!!
looks packaged well!
Wow, 120 for both...this is a tank I'm sure you won't be skipping water changes on! 😏. I do like those Koi angels though - very unique. Enjoy! 👌

Master aquatic, I am looking into getting my first angelfish or 3 and wanting some advice. I have a 53g freshwater heavily planted tank and was wondering how many angelfish would you suggest keeping. Currently I have a pair of bolivian rams, 20+ cardinal tetra, honey gouramis and corys. The blue zebra angelfish are the ones I'm looking into. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
when ur goal is to breed and sell fish, its worth buying the 120 dollars fish vs the 5 dollar petco fish.

sorry, but the only thing I learned off this was don't buy angels (bigger one's for sure) from Angelsplus , pretty price for not High Coverage Koi's but that's not my beef, the issue is their shipping method, I can't imagine why on earth would they not use separate bags for those angels. As we could all see and you noted one of the fish was badly hurt during shipping and no that's because of shipping that's because of the way they were shipped and your lucky it didn't die on you. For that kind of money they ship like that????

Rod Hurst ill be honest. Im not a big fan of the way they ship either and their shipping prices are wayyyyyyy tooooo high! But the beauty and quality of their angels outweigh that for me.

Thanks, I learn so much from you. I'm really doing great and understanding the concept of taking good care of my angelfish. They greet me every time and their bodies grew from a dime to Gatorade top to size In 3 months. I SUBSCRIBED!!!
My local Petco has koi angels from time to time.
Such a cutie.
Sheesh I plan to get 3. Maybe they will breed with some of the random angels I have. Could get some cool hybrids.
I have to say that more wild looking angel with the standard colors and bars looks far superior to me to the koi angels, Now I like mottled goldfish shubunkins and koi, I have them both in my pond, but when it comes to angels I don't like silver ones or the ones with splotches like this, I like the more standard appearance, as well as zebra, I guess when it comes to angels I like the black bars.

Vanessa Lynn, it depends on the color, shape, all sorts of things. Check for longer, flowing fins that drag and ripple more. Check for more orange and a few black splotches across the back, less white. Large, circular body shape with an easily defined tail shape that makes it look triangular. That is a good fish. Oh! And healthy. Can’t forget that.

Wow,I,uhm. I think you may have got rigged,my friend. 120$ for an angelfish is immense,and they aren''t even good quailty. And that 5$ looks amazing for it's price!It looks so natural and so happy. But using a fish for testing water is kind of cruel,using a kit is probably more expensive but way more HUMANE. Anyways they are all beautiful and also the tank is beautiful,care for them well.

I bought a fish from petsmart. She/he is super social, will come up to the tank to beg for food.
When using melafix and pemafix you have to greatly increase the aeration of the tank as these products form a oily film on the surface of the water that can inhibit oxygen exchange...the indigenous people of my country have used Melaleuca for thousands of years mostly for treating wounds and sore throats, chills and colds....Melaleuca being main ingredient of melafix.. so...I think they work well for external injuries not much else though...
