not really a stocking question

[fishface33]

heres what a got;
6 tiger barbs
3 cherry barbs
8 neon tetras
6 redeye tetras
1 black neon tetra (just showed up one day)
3 zebra danios
3 corrys (1 spotted, 1 albino, 1 brown one)
1 algee eater
1 bala shark

all in a 200G aquarium, I wanted to buy an angel fish, but i keep on reading that they are can be aggresive. what im looking for is a fish that looks different from the rest. any answer would be apreciated, for i will try to reasearch that fish

not really an answer more of an opinion

3 zebra danios huh!
zebra danios (danio reio) need, at the least, to be in groups of 5!

I reserve my comments on the rest of the list

i don't really have any suggestions for another fish, but I do think you should get your bala shark 2 more friends.

i will get 3 more zebra dainios tomorrow and 2 more bala sharks soon thanks for the help and danion2004 what did you mean with "I reserve my comments on the rest of the list".

I think definitely go with a couple more cories - 200 gallons is massive, & these guys love being in groups, the more the better, & the same goes for the lone black neon tetra who I'm sure would love some company of his own kind.

Anyhoo, just my opinion. Goodluck

from what i understand with angels, is if you get them when they are small and they are the last fish you add to the community they will be ok. I dont know from personal experience so you can take or leave my opinion. I also agree with previous posts that some of your fish could be in bigger groups so you should start with that. good luck finding what your looking for.

I think that part of the issue is that barbs tend to be more aggressive than tetras. I'm not sure you're supposed to mix them. You did say you have a very large tank, though. I think that if they have plenty of space to swim they should be okay.

I've been told to group danios and tetras and other schoaling/schooling fish in groups of at least 10. However, my danios have been happy as little clams in their threesome. Of course, now I have tetras, too, and all of them swim together quite peacefully.

Sorry all I ment was I don't have enough experiance of those others to feel I can give any advice on them.
I didn't mean to sound arrogant?

How about some gouramis? They're real different from what you've got so far.

Wouldn't get angels as your barbs will nip their fins. If you want cichlids try Keyholes as they are peaceful, Kribs bit more agressive but very colouful or a group of small apistogrammas which are colourlful and peaceful.

Thanks for the help guys; 1.) the one black neon tetra just showed up one day and i would have bought more but i can't find then at the two local shops that sell fish. so if i ever see anymore i will buy them. 2.) buying more 2 more bala sharks. the first one i bought was kinda an impulse buy, (I bought it, put the divider in the tank and did some research him/her, it never said anything about schooling fish), and the shop owner dousn't know when there getting anymore, so it might be a few month, 3.) i did buy 3 more zebra danios today, thanks again for the info

You should get some more cory catfish in that tank and a few more bala sharks and then get another pl*co
