Ang how long have both angels been living together in the 25?

They live together for 3 months. At the beginning, the flame angel is attacking the porters. But now they play together.
 
Sorry guys, my internet went down at home, so I'm just seeing this. Unfortunitly my work has put a ban on sites like photobucket to try and cut down on bandwith, so I can't post any pics at the moment. I'll try to get over a friends house tonight to post some. As for now I'll link my last tank update in my club forum...and as always there are lots of pics by clicking the my little red house...and some older pics on my RC gallery..(if you go back far enough in the RC gallery you can see some really old FT pics of my tank as it has progressed..)
