1 adult yellow/golden Angel
1 young Marble Angel
4 Neon Tetra
2 Albino Cory Cats

Wonderful! But you do realize the angels will need a bigger tank right? also the corys should be in a group of 3 or more.

Pac-Man · 06-16-2005, 05:08 PM

Yup...angels should really have a 30 or larger. And from your other pictures, I saw that your 10 is a long. Angels should really have a tall. And as Lexus also said, you should have more corycats.

**Baby_Baby** · 06-16-2005, 05:21 PM

ya. angels get to about 6 inches. I believe that they also eat smaller fish once they reache this size, so be very careful when it gets bigger. That's what i've read, anyway.

bsmith · 06-16-2005, 05:50 PM

yea i know, they are going to be there for now, and the cories i had only enough to get what i got, i want some of the cories that are green, so im gonna ge 2 of those soon

bsmith · 06-16-2005, 07:38 PM

I GOT SOME PICTURES ! ! ! !

haha go to my webpage below on my sig. and look at the "10gallon" album
if anyone can post them thatd be awsome, thanks !
hope you like them

fishfreaks · 06-16-2005, 08:01 PM

you have an adult angel in a 10g. wow you should really put him in your 40 instead.

fishboy · 06-16-2005, 08:26 PM

I agree they need room to roam and a school

maxpayne_lhp · 06-16-2005, 08:28 PM

So do you plan to move them into the other tank of yours? The tankmates can go peacfully with your angle!

Well your tank looks neat!

bsmith · 06-16-2005, 09:10 PM

im not sure about the angels, the guy at the store said that he wont get too big sinse he is in a small place, hell grow not as fast. but the big tank im making a cichlid tank, so i dont think he can go in there right ?

maxpayne_lhp · 06-16-2005, 09:16 PM

Well, your angel won't grow up and blow the tank out.... yes but you know, he's kinda picky guy so a small home (and he's also picky to the changes) , being lonely can stress him. So it's ideal to put him in a biggrer tank.

Lydia · 06-16-2005, 10:02 PM

hey your tank looks nice! are you planning on putting live plants in there?

Yankee boy · 06-16-2005, 10:28 PM

Remeber your angel may not grow externally but internally he will continue to grow. So just remeber that, dont want organs spewing out in his tiny body.

bsmith · 06-16-2005, 10:51 PM

yea i had the larger angel for 7 months and when i got him he was about the same size as my smaller one and thats not too much bigger. but yea i will have to wait to see about getting a larger tank.
im not sure about getting live plants, i do need something else in the tank, i have a cocnut cave i made and i washed it all out, is that enough to put it in ? i dont like fake things like the castle, so i might get a live plants or something else.. ?

ive always heard this, but never seen any proof. got a valuable source?

fishfreaks · 06-17-2005, 07:58 AM

i think what the guy at your lfs was basically saying that you will stunt the fishes growth, but he put it more indirectly. you should get rid of the angel if you dont want him in your 40, he really should be in a much larger tank.

Imbrium · 06-17-2005, 10:28 AM

I agree with what everyone says about the angel. You've got two of them in there? That's no good. They get pretty big and need a lot of vertical space.

bsmith · 06-17-2005, 11:01 AM

hmmm hmmm my girlfriend will be very dissapointed hahaha she just thought they were "cute" and they guy said they would fit, so i said ok. but we might make a trip back and trade them in. they are really cool though, i love those fish already

fishfreaks · 06-17-2005, 11:36 AM

yup, i would take that trip since you dont want to put him in your 40. even then they should be in a 55.

fishboy · 06-17-2005, 11:45 AM

Well aren't angels cichlids? Even if they aren't i think they'll work in a cichlid tank
