Angelfisholic needs help !!!

well just let hope they won't kill each other with your current 5 angels.

No, they actually really get along very well and play together with the last 2 fish I bought last night. I think if I buy some more I won't have a problem about fighting, I am more worried about too much crowding in a small tank. I can sell other fish if I need to.

Well i understand 3 with 75 gallon is pushing limit already. And now you just add 2 more, I hope you got some luck that they won't start fighting in couple months. Then you can try to add more i guess if your tank system can handle bio load. There are always some exceptions in hobby i guess

I have learned how to introduce angelfish without any problem, I am more worried about bio load as you say.

Good thing you are far away if not you have to buy me a pack of cigarettes ... just kidding. Ok, here is what I did for the last 10 years. While you are floating the bag with 2 or 3 new fish in the sump (remember no less than 2 fish, the more the better, and I always do at night) feed all your fish then turn off all lights, including your room's light, except the moon lights are still on. After you acclimate your new fish properly, you release them in your tank and turn off the moon lights immediately so the previous fish have no chance to attack or see the new comers. You need a very WEAK flash light not too bright to get out of the room though because it will be totally dark. Do not turn any light back on till the next morning, and voila ... done. I can add as many as I want to by doing this way for so many years.

You have been doing this trick for 10 years and no problem!? Not even any diseases without any QT? hm....half of angles on your list known to be mean through thousands of years of evolution. And you think you can cheat them by sneaking in new tank mates.
Let us know after 6 months.
