Normal Angelfish Behavior?

I just switched my angelfish into a new 40 gallon tank two days ago. For most of the day yesterday I noticed she stayed in the corner. I thought she was probably just a bit stressed from the move and needed some time to feel things out and warm up to her new surroundings. Last night she started swimming around more and checking out the tank. She would go explore an area and then go back to her corner for a minute and then she’d go back out and go further out and whatnot until she’s now been swimming around the entire tank. But now she’s doing this. I just checked all the water parameters and everything is good. The ph is a little on the lower end of good so I may try and get it up a tiny bit. Is this normal behavior? Am I just being paranoid? Or is something wrong? She did this for about 45 seconds or so before swimming off and acting normal again. I haven’t seen any flashing or any signs of a sort of infection. Please let me know if this is normal and if it’s something wrong how can I fix it?

Best plants??

Okay so I just made another post asking about tank sizing so if you haven’t seen that and have some advice pretty please check that out!
Im trying to get answers as soon as I can because I want to do this for my angels like right now. I’m ready to go to a store or go pick up something like today.

I want to add live plants to my angelfish tank/s and I want to know the best options and how to care for live plants. I have two I bought from PetSmart as already grown live plants and then I bought this pack of seeds that ended up growing two new plants as well. Tbh I forgot what plants I have but I do know I 100% looked up some stuff before I bought any so there is no concerns about any like wrong plant being in the tank. The petsmart ones work fine and I’m sure I may end up with a few more unless I get told of somewhere better.

So to summarize:

Go check my first post and add your advice in there please

What plants are good for angels, how do I care for them and where do I get them?

Angelfish Tank Sizing Help

I have two angelfish 1M named Bully and 1F named Angel. When I got them initially I didn’t know their genders and I thought they were both males… until I noticed angelfish fry in the tank one day. That was probably close to two years ago and over the past several months Bully began to attack Angel and with some research I came to the conclusion that they must have gotten a “divorce” since they hadn’t mated in quite some time. Her fins started to get tears and rips so I moved her to a separate tank recently. The issue is that tank is too small to house her permanently and I need to upgrade asap. I’ve been looking at tanks on Facebook marketplace and I’ve found a shit ton of great deals on large tanks. The issue is that I don’t have that much room to put a new tank. Obviously I’m already quite literally clearing shit out of my room so I can add a nice large tank.

What are the best recommendations for tank sizing? I was wanting to get a 30 (honestly 40) gallon at minimum but I’ve seen some extremely great deals on like 50 and 60 gallon tanks with stands. But I wouldn’t have room for two giant tanks like that in my room (I live with my family still as I’m only 20). I’m wondering if getting a 60 gallon tank would possibly provide them enough room to live together but I’m absolutely terrified to take that risk.

I also would like some recommendations for plants I can add as well as other species (and best tank sizing options for having those would be great too 😭) and any and all tips are welcome. I want to give my angels the best care I can. I’m working two jobs and have two purposes for my money in mind: save for an apartment and absolutely spoil my angels.

I really love them and I’ve seen many influencers who have fish and I enjoy the content and their relations with their fish and I just want to be able to provide that care for them. I have done research of my own of course but tbh I’m so scared to trust anything just blindly so I thought I’d ask the people for help.

Thank you so much and please note that I’m genuinely trying to learn so please try to be nice. If there’s something I’m doing wrong definitely tell me so I can fix it but I won’t lie I’m sensitive so pretty pretty please try. Thank you all so so so much!!!!

What is the best way to learn about Camaros? + help identify what year

Okay so I (20 F) have been wanting to get into cars (specifically Camaros) but I have no idea where to start. I’ve been reading up on 1st and 2nd gen Camaros as I prefer the look that I call “rectangular”. I love older cars that are the long and sleek bodies. I really don’t like how over the years cars have gotten round. I want to learn about 1st-4th gen mostly and I basically have this fantasy of putting my Camaro in a show and absolutely schooling some guy on something. I don’t necessarily focus on speed, I’m more focused on the look but I do want to get into speed and engine types and everything. My boyfriend is majorly into cars and he can tell you what kind of engine it has based on just the sound and he can identify cars so quickly. I have no idea how to start learning. I’ve helped my uncle with some stuff and I know a little but honestly I’d say teach me like I have no idea cause that’s what I’m closer too.
ALSO (and potentially more importantly)
My dad passed away 11 years ago and he had a Camaro. I’ve been trying to identify it and I’m pretty sure it’s a second gen. Of course when I took pictures of the car I wasn’t really into cars so my pictures are not that helpful. But hopefully someone can help me out.

Edit: I unfortunately don’t have the VIN otherwise I’d look it up. It was my dad’s and he didn’t have a will so it was given to the oldest (my half-brother) and he’s been kinda ghosting everyone since it happened.
