How many litres is this tank? and how did you do your CO2?

It's a 75 liter tank, or 20 gallon long. I did my CO2 by mixing a combination of sugar, yeast, baking soda, and water in a 2 liter bottle. I then cut a hole in the top of the cap and ran some air line through it. I sealed the cap and line with aquarium sealer, let it dry, and put it back on. It's been doing well ever since. The mixture is: 1 teaspoon yeast, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3 cups of sugar, and fill with water to where the bottle starts to get narrow.

You could always hook up 5 or so 2 liter bottles. It would work, but it might be a hassle when you have to change them every 1-3 weeks.

Yes and prob a bit hard to hide 5 x 2 litre bottles in my tank

Very nice angel. But i think pretty overstocked.

What kind of Pleco is it? If it's common it will get too large for the tank. Also, the Angels will need a bigger tank too! They need a tank that is at least 18 inches tall, a 20 long is only 12. Normally I wouldn't keep more then one angel in a 20 gallon high, just because it's small, and Angles are aggressive. If you wanted to take back the pleco (if common) you could replace it with a Clown pleco, or bristle nose. Also, the angels could be replaced with a pair of Apistogramma, or a pair of Gold/Bolivian or German rams. All of those are Cichlids like angles, but will suite the tank better

Hope this helps!

P.S. Dracaena (white ribbon) is only semi aquatic. It will start to decompose It's sad that stores sell it...
