30 Gallon Cube Stocking

[Maegan]

Hi there! My tank is cycled and right now I have 6 rasboras and a dwarf gourami in my tank. I would love to add an angelfish or two but I hear they can get aggressive if they do not like each other or if they are breeding so I figure I would get just one am I correct on that? I have also heard that angels will try to eat otos and can get their fins stuck in their throats! I want a bottom feeder that wont outgrow my tank and otos are the only thing I can find that I like so far. Here are a couple ideas I have had for stocking my tank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1 dwarf gourami
6 rasboras
2 angelfish
3 guppies

1 dwarf gourami
6 rasboras
1 angelfish
5 guppies
5 cardnial tetras

1 dwarf gourami
1 angelfish
5 platy
3 Otos
8 rasboras

or maybe this?


1 dwarf gourami
1 angelfish
5 platy
5 cory catfish
6 rasboras

Are cories compatable with the other fish?

Otos are great little fish, but tend to do better in larger groups [5 or 6] might increase your chances of seeing them as they tend to hide a lot. And depending on tank depth, angels may not fit. So you should also post your tank dimension. I would add more rasboras [what species?] to fill it out. Corydoras are recommended to have sand rather than gravel to protect their barbels, just fyi.

I have harlequin rasboras. My tank is a 30 gallon cube.
