Angel Fish

GPSpiderMKII · 05-15-2005, 03:14 PM

I have a 29 gallon tank with 3 zebra danios, 3 neon tetras, 2 glass fish, and 2 lyretail guppies, i am probably going to buy more tetras, but i was wondering if i put about two angel fish in the tank if they would get aggressive and attack my other fish. Should I leave them out and just get something else? I was also thinking of maybe getting some gourami (if i spelled that right, any kind of them). What do you guys think?

I wouldnt get any angel fish. they love to eat neon tetras.

If anything I'd get more neons, or more danios.

blue, gold, or honey gouramis should be alright too.

Alright thanks... i think i'll get about 2 -3 more tetras and maybe 2 blue gouramis. Is that too much for my 29 gallon? When do you think it would be considered overstocked? thanks

It's okay, but I really think you should add more neons, 8~10 neons for a school is ideal!

Just don't get a Trichogaster "blue/three spot" gourami. They will also eat your neons. You will have to get dwarf gouramis.
