So I got my girlfriend her own 10 gallon tank that she will be taking care of herself. I originally took care of her fish in my 10 and 30 but now she has one for herself. She will take one of the 4 Mollies in my 30 gallon. With the Molly she wants to have Honey Gourami. Once her tank cycles her ideal stocking would be:

1 Molly
2 Honey Gourami

She doesnt know if she has room for anything else. She has a gravel bottom since I had some extra gravel lying around so Cory are out (although it is pea sized polished pebbled so edges are not sharp). She wants to know if Guppies, Platy, tetras and wonders if any of those will fit as well.

And a question for me, I was wondering if a single angel fish would work with my current stocking? My tank is 14.5in high. Also how long does it take an Angelfish to reach full size. I may upgrade in next 6 months to a year. I plan to buy the angelfish as juvenile.

Also are there any other Cichlids that can be suggested for my 30? I am also thinking Rams if Angels will not work.
 
for your 30 i would suggest cockatoo cichilid. they will not atack any other fish and dont get big. the male gets to 3" and the female gets to 2.5". what is your current stocking in your 30?
 
go with the cockatoos as rams can be very sensitive to water and you dont want to waste your money. i agree the rams look nicer but the cockatoos will last longer.
 
Well I am still leaning towards Rams but I will see which is more available. I take it angelfish are out then still.
