Stocking

[mrplaty]

Hi,
I have recently cleaned out all my tank and started again and i am stuck with what to stock it with. I really can't decide what to get so i was just wondering if anybody has any suggestions??

So far i have in the tank:

4 x Long fineed albino corydoras
3 X small angels

I was thinking about getting a pair ob ancisturus (bristlenoses) but am unsure

Any suggestions??

thanks

you could get a school of neons and another school of tetras
a few corys
maybe some other nice colorfull fish like some guppys OR platys

i might out some neons in their bu ti didnt really want any livebearers because i have lodsa guppies etc in another tank and i now have 100's of fry.

oh well get some schools of tetras 7 more i would say

i was wondering if a pair of kribs would work but i suppose i should ask that in the cichlid section!!!!

First of all. What do you plan to do with those angels? If 2 pair up, the 3rd will probably end up dead.

Secondly, angels eat small tetras. Forget that idea completely. Also, don't try guppies or anything else that's small or slow.

Next I should say kribs are also a bad idea - if they breed they'll harass the cories and, being cichlids, are likely to clash with the angels as well.

If you consider angels get to 6" and cories each get to about 2", your tank actualy doesn't have all that much room to spare for any more fish.

What I would suggest you do is return one of the 3 angels and get a trio of swordtails and 1 bristlenose.
Alternatively, I've always thought scissortail rasboras (a school of 5) look great with angels but, again, return one of those angels.
