Default blue angels

I picked up my 125 tank tonight the guy gave me so much stuff to go with it including 8 huge blue angels i am not sure what the black one is but he is pretty. I really hope they make it most seem to be doing ok. The body on the biggest one looks to be about 5 inches not counting his fins. He also gave me 2 big albino catfish 1 regular catfish 4 yellow and black platties i think thats what they are. From what i hear and have been reading the angels this size are very expensive. here is a few pics

Nice! The pics don't lok like any hint of blue at all on them. If it were me, I'd get rid of the silver dollars. You'll have 2 125's?

I think you are right. The guy told me there were 3 blue angels. None of the pics show any of them but 3 have blue spots on their bodies and bluish fins i thought it was a disease at first. I am worried about the biggest one he is missing an eye looks like it was a long ago injury he is staying upright but his equilibrium is kinda messed up. A few have a clear bubble clear on an eye i thought they had ich so to be on the safe side i raised the temp to 86. aerating the heck out of it. Mostly looks gone now but i am going to keep the temp up for 10 days just in case and do partial water changes daily. I am wondering if it was from the trauma of coming out of the tank and the 30 mile trip in a 5 gal bucket that made them spotty. They did not move to much last night but are swimming around now. I really did not want to put them in my tank just in case. But had no choice. There are 8 big silver dollars I thought there were only 5 the biggest ones i have ever seen they are over 5 years old. I am not trying to sound mean i like them but the angels are more important to me much prettier. I would rather take a chance of loosing the silverdollars then letting the angels die. I dont know what to do i also have 2 parrot fish in the tank they were both bright orange all of a sudden 1 is starting to turn black and is rubbing and scratching. I need to isolate him i think but just dont have another tank set up now i hate to flush him just in case he turns out ok i am afraid he has some internal parasite or something

Sounds llike stress, The bubbles over the eye could be caused by poor water conditions going into better. Keep your temp up. And do a couple of 50% water changes a week, once the 10 days are up lower the temp slowly to about 80. The angels will thank you for it. The parrot is stressed because of all of a sudden more fish in its territory. Do some rearrainging of decor some to change territory and it should work itself out.

One pic leads me to think they might be pearlscale... (A higher end of angel).. Bill in Va.
p.s. You'll enjoy your angels much more than the SD's...
