Hi All,

Recently I started my first aquarium (60L, Juwel Rekord 60) and I bought a few fish (4 black mollies (2 males and 2 females) and 2 catfish). In a few days I got fry from my mollies, 12 fish:) It is nice, but it is too much. As I read this will repeat every month :) But I also would like to introduce some other fish in my tank.

So, what kind of fish would be appropriate in my case (60L + mollies + ~10 plants). I was thinking of angle fish or gouramis (3-5 of one kind, and maybe only one of that kinds(?)). I would not like to have a lot (7-10) small fish like danios or neons, better a few but nice and peaceful :) So I need some fish which do not feel unhappy in small groups (2-4 of a kind).

And back to the mollies: maybe I could introduce some fish which would eat the mollies fry? Because I do not know what to do with all that (already 16) mollies :)

Thanks for replies.
 
Nearly all fish will eat the fry if they can catch them, no angel i'm afraid need 30gal tanks, you could maybe get dwarf gouramis.
