    Corys keep food off the bottom. Bristle-nose destroys algae. Otto are great for algae.

    Stocking My Tank!

    What about the following: 4 angelfish, 6 Corys, 5 Barbs, and a African Feather-fin catfish?

    Stocking My Tank!

    It is 22" It has gravel so probably 20" after that I would want to add 4-5 of them, but at 5" they wouldn't really fit.

    Stocking My Tank!

    I have 46 gallon bow-front. I need to finish stocking it. Here is my current stock. 3 Angelfish, soon to be 4-5 3 Denison Barb, soon to be 5 3 Cory cat, soon to be 6 I stocked only 3 angelfish because the store didn't have any more than 3 that I liked. I stocked...

    Angelfish Tank Mates

    Ok thanks. I will return the denison barbs. I am aware of the numbers with the angels. I only buy angels that look great ( the store only had 3 ). I was already planing on getting 3 more. Based on the info on the barbs that you gave me this is my stocking plan. 6 albino cory 6 marbel angelfish...

    Angelfish Tank Mates

    I acquired a 46 gallon bow-front aquarium a while ago. I cycled it, planted it, got everything setup. Next I went to my LFS and bought 3 nice marble angelfish. I also bought 3 Denison barbs (torpedo barbs). From everything I have read about them they are ok with angels. It seems like they might...

    Tank Problems For A Begginer...

    What size tank is it? If your fish are coming in to your tank lethargic, it may not be your fault. There is a good chance they are bad fish from your store. It could be the fish went into shock. You can do several things to help minimize the chance of shock. Don't shake the bag. Acclimate your...

    What To Do?

    I don't know what you should do with them, but I know one thing. DO NOT RELEASE THEM INTO A LAKE OR POND. Snails have ruined eco-systems in lake and ponds.

    Angelfish Stocking

    Stock your neons before the angelfish. Once the neons are fairly big then add the angelfish. It helps a lot if you stock the angelfish small. If an angelfish grows up with small fish most of his life he normally won't see them as food. Also keep lots of plants and hiding places, such as...

    Angelfish Stocking

    I do not want this topic to turn into a debate about angelfish keeping. I may be wrong about some things, but that's why I post, to learn. All I am asking is what fish besides the ones that are already listed would go well with angelfish in a 46 gallon bow. I would prefer the fish to be somewhat...

    Angelfish Stocking

    I am aware of that, but have never had any problems with it. In my experience the existing angel chases the new angel for a day or two and then stops.

    Angelfish Stocking

    If a pair does form they will be removed from the 46 gallon and placed into my 30. Then i would add more angelfish to my 46. Ok, I think it has been determined that red tails are out of the question. Any other options would be appreciated.

    Angelfish Stocking

    I thought about corys,but I have a lot of them in other tanks. I'm kind of bored of them and want something different. That's why I want a red tail. Do you think a red tail would work?

    Angelfish Stocking

    I have a 46 gallon bow front aquarium. Will this stocking idea work? 3 angelfish, 1 red tail shark, 1 bristle-nose pleco, and 10 cardinal tetras. The tank will be cycled before I put any fish in it. My main concern is the shark being aggressive to my other fish. Do not worry about the tetras...

    Stones From My Local River

    I use flat stones from rivers and creeks in all my tanks. I scrub them and boil them first, never had any problems.
