Hi Yes currently i have 4 gouramis 2 red 2 gold. And 1 out of both pairs keeps bullying And chasing the other so the bullied ones are considerably smaller :(. Dunno what to do as the bullied ones are always hiding at the bottom of the tank.

Hi, Well it depends which sort of set up you want.. Do you want a quiet, peaceful tank? or a more boisterous tank?

Hi Dan, Yes as far as im aware of, angel fish once fully grown will tend to eat other smaller fish such as Guppies and smaller Tetras such as Neons,Cardinals etc. So if you do plan on buying angel fish I would recommend you ensure your Tetras have plenty of hiding places to avoid the angels.

Okay thanks for your help :). I will let you all know what plants and fish i buy tonight after work. Cheers

Well without the original fish just over 24 hours.

Thanks for your help all I"ll try those tips tonight after work and let you know how i get on :). Also when can i introduce some new fish? Preferably hardy ones first. Regards :).
