Corys keep food off the bottom. Bristle-nose destroys algae. Otto are great for algae.

What about the following: 4 angelfish, 6 Corys, 5 Barbs, and a African Feather-fin catfish?

It is 22" It has gravel so probably 20" after that I would want to add 4-5 of them, but at 5" they wouldn't really fit.

I have 46 gallon bow-front. I need to finish stocking it. Here is my current stock. 3 Angelfish, soon to be 4-5 3 Denison Barb, soon to be 5 3 Cory cat, soon to be 6 I stocked only 3 angelfish because the store didn't have any more than 3 that I liked. I stocked...

Ok thanks. I will return the denison barbs. I am aware of the numbers with the angels. I only buy angels that look great ( the store only had 3 ). I was already planing on getting 3 more. Based on the info on the barbs that you gave me this is my stocking plan. 6 albino cory 6 marbel angelfish...

I acquired a 46 gallon bow-front aquarium a while ago. I cycled it, planted it, got everything setup. Next I went to my LFS and bought 3 nice marble angelfish. I also bought 3 Denison barbs (torpedo barbs). From everything I have read about them they are ok with angels. It seems like they might...

What size tank is it? If your fish are coming in to your tank lethargic, it may not be your fault. There is a good chance they are bad fish from your store. It could be the fish went into shock. You can do several things to help minimize the chance of shock. Don't shake the bag. Acclimate your...

I don't know what you should do with them, but I know one thing. DO NOT RELEASE THEM INTO A LAKE OR POND. Snails have ruined eco-systems in lake and ponds.

Stock your neons before the angelfish. Once the neons are fairly big then add the angelfish. It helps a lot if you stock the angelfish small. If an angelfish grows up with small fish most of his life he normally won't see them as food. Also keep lots of plants and hiding places, such as...

I do not want this topic to turn into a debate about angelfish keeping. I may be wrong about some things, but that's why I post, to learn. All I am asking is what fish besides the ones that are already listed would go well with angelfish in a 46 gallon bow. I would prefer the fish to be somewhat...

I am aware of that, but have never had any problems with it. In my experience the existing angel chases the new angel for a day or two and then stops.

If a pair does form they will be removed from the 46 gallon and placed into my 30. Then i would add more angelfish to my 46. Ok, I think it has been determined that red tails are out of the question. Any other options would be appreciated.

I thought about corys,but I have a lot of them in other tanks. I'm kind of bored of them and want something different. That's why I want a red tail. Do you think a red tail would work?

I have a 46 gallon bow front aquarium. Will this stocking idea work? 3 angelfish, 1 red tail shark, 1 bristle-nose pleco, and 10 cardinal tetras. The tank will be cycled before I put any fish in it. My main concern is the shark being aggressive to my other fish. Do not worry about the tetras...

I use flat stones from rivers and creeks in all my tanks. I scrub them and boil them first, never had any problems.

I have made a deal through craigslist, I am getting a 46 gallon bow front tank. It comes with a filter, heater, light fixture with bulb, thermometer, stand gravel which I will not use, and some decor. The guy selling it to me says it is very dirty. It also has not been taken care of for 3 weeks...

I have mollies in a ten gallon and have breed them successfully. They are fine, but of course they would like more space.

Ok thanks very much.

I have read up on the butterfly fish they seem like they might be the fish I am looking for. I wouldn't get rainbows with butter-fly. How many butter-fly could i get? Just one.

The rainbow-fish could possibly work, but probably not. As for the Cockatoo I can't spend $70 bucks for one. Any other ideas.

I will look into those fish. Thanks for the reply.

Not yet. I haven't acquired the aquarium yet. I will cycle it as soon as i get it then add the fish I already have.

I am about to upgrade to a 30 gallon tank. I really want a different fish. I want something rather large probably. Maybe something that is an oddball fish Something well, CrAzY. I already have 2 lyre-tail mollies, 3 albino corys (will be 6), 1 otto, 1 bristle-nose pleco so it would need to be...

They are cichlids so they are territorial, but i have breed them in 10 gallons, crazy I know. If you want them to get along overstock them. It's tricky but it should work. In my 3 years of breeding them in two different tanks. The first time I have 4 in a 10 gallon. A male and female paired up...

Some more corys would be nice. A bristle nose or rubber lip pleco could work also. There are many options, why don't you list some fish you would like to put in your tank and we can give you feedback on those fish and if they are suitable for your aquarium.

They are on the big end for mollies. Mine are currently about 3" each, but they can get up to 6". That's not very likely. If you like mollies these are great.

Convict Cichlids. If your interested i have breed them and can answer some of your questions?

In a ten gallon aquarium don't put a pleco with an african cichlid.

If you are having fish die very quickly after you introduce them to your tank it could be from shock. Here are some things you can do to minimize shock when bringing home a fish. Some of these are very obvious but important and if not done can kill fish. 1 When you get a fish try to get it home...

HAHA It's a good forum

You should post a comment on my latest post. The Dream Tank http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/406851-the-dream-tank/page__p__3423310__fromsearch__1#entry3423310

This is a great site and I am sure you will enjoy it and learn from it. I am a seasoned vet on this site I have been writing on this site since yesterday haha. Why 1 neon tetra?

Ok that makes more sense, because I have seen so many of your aquarium videos:)

They sure do look better in groups. Nice video and those angels looked great. I have seen a lot of your posts Snazy how many tanks do you have?

I am not convinced it's not thriving. Maybe this is ignorance on my part maybe not, but it is very healthy and active. If it ever got unhealthy and I had any suspicion at all of it being sick because it didn't have proper tank mates or room to swim then I would address the problem. I love my...

You are right that you shouldn't go at angels without knowing what your doing. Whenever there is an opportunity to throw out information about angels I will throw what I can :) One cool idea for this tank is to add a khuli loach. I don't know if that is possible or not I don't know anything...

I want to hear how everyone would stock this dream aquarium. This is how I would do mine. Of course live plants everywhere 18 Neon Tetras 12 Serpae Tetras 10 Discus 5 Snakeskin 5 Royal Red 2 Bristle nose plecos 5 Jet Black Angel Fish 50-100 Red Cherry Shrimps This is just a dream and my stocking...
