Multicolor angel -or- Multibar angel

TTM is hard on angelfish. specially fresh out of the bag.

If you plan to do that, I'd keep it in the tank for a week or two. Let it gain some weight before you start catching/transferring the fish every other day.

take out a few rocks from your tank and keep it in the 20gal. You can do minor WC and still keep ammonia at 0. After a week or two, dose Prazi and start the TTM.

just my experience. I lost a lot of wrasse and picky eaters from TTM out of bag. Once they learn the new feed/sleep pattern, they have much better chance
 
Ok thanks Tony. I'll do that. Should I pour a bottle of bacteria in the new tank just to be safe? Or might that not be necessary since I already have the rocks in there?

I'm thinking I might use the rubble from my sump and fuge since there is a lot of pods in that and it will give both fish a natural food source immediately? Or should I just use the rocks from the tank?
 
I'm looking to upgrade to a 150+ soon. Will most likely happen before the angel is out of QT so they will both be introduced into the new tank at the same time.

I'm not sure how much they pick on pods. all my angelfish love picking on hair algae.
