[roseykat5]

ok i got a 90 gallon that is housing
8 paradise gouramis (4 males and 4 females)
4 swartzi corys
4 emerald gold corys
6 pepper corys
1 rainbow shark
6 angle fishes
one black moor (saved him from death someone was gonna throw him out )

water temp is set at 76-82
and great water setting and is few years old the tank that is i wanted to get something with colors and what can i put in with them

if by paradise gourami you mean paradise fish get them out ASAP!!!
they are highly aggressive, they DO NOT belong together.
the corys are ok
the black moor needs a cold-water tank, 15 gallons minimum, so you should take him out
rainbow shark should be ok
not sure about the angelfish although they need a tall tank

the black moor needs a cold-water tank, 15 gallons minimum, so you should take him out

I thought it was a minimum of 30 gal for a goldfish species?

For a blackmoor I would say no less than 20 gallon.

i have no where to put the black moor but from what i read on that fish though its a goldfishe species it can handle a 76-82 water temp from what it says so i though it was ok ... i rescued him from someone who was gonna throw him in the garbage and i thought why kill him and i had him in 10 gal for a while and now he is in my 90 gal and seems alot happier in there with the others
as for the paradise fish only one is agressive which is my biggest male and he hangs out in the corner of the tank constanly making bubble nest with one female but it never seems go further than that ....

and for the angel fish i was told that they will be ok in with these groups of fish i have as side from a strange tankmate the black moor ... i have a pretty tall but long tank the 45 gal tall tanks is the same height is the tank i have so why wouldnt it be ok
.. i thought the angelfish would be perfect as i need something for the middle area as the paradise is mostly on the top and wanders every where on the tank.. i need colors so what would be great ... angel fish was the choice my oldest daughter liked all my kids have each group of fishes

While your Paradise fish may seem ok now, it probably won't last I'm afraid.
We kept 3 males and 3 females for months in our tank and thought they would be fine. Another member said that they would end up fighting so we kept an eye on them. We thought we were perhaps lucky as they never bothered with each other so let them be. One morning, checked on them as normal and they were going crazy at each other, flaring and locking lips. We ended up having to take them back to the lfs unfortunately.

please rehome the paradise fish, they are agressive. If you can't now keep an eye out for them and remove them if they get agressive. Here are some quotes from websites:

Paradise Fish are fairly combative, harassing and attacking each other as well as potentially killing small fish. In the wild, they are predators, eating insects, invertebrates and fish fry.

Paradise fish are colorful labyrinth fishes. Though small, they can be aggressive and aren't recommended companions of other slow moving fish such as Angelfish.

as they mature, males will engage in fierce battles, so only one male should be kept per aquarium.

I am not trying to accuse you of anything, I'm just trying to tell you that the paradise fish aren't the best choice for your aquarium.

ok i will rehouse them then ... any suggestions on what i can put in the tank as for colorful interesting fishes .... i got rid of cae and got a common pleco instead which i dont mind .... i need some colors... i want somethng that is soo interesting to watch besides the cories i love them and got 4 kinds of them but i left the pepper cories in the 10 gal for now til they breed and give those to my sister as she wants them she loves them and hten ill let nature take its course if htey breed all the time....

i will be getting 4 angel fishes ... ive been doing alot of researching seems im not doing that great of a job i got the wrong gouramis i guess ...what would be the best choices of gouramis i like them they are nice to watch them i had the ones that were white with 3 black spots it died years ago they were interesting
remeber i have a 90 gal
was thinking maybe clownloaches just 3 of them that i was told the minimum was ok

With the black moore i would still advise separating him from the other fish as both angelfish and rainbow sharks can be quite territorial and agressive at times and both fish would make short work of a fancy goldfish such as a black moore as such goldfish have no defence against such fish and it would basically be a duck sitting in a cage of cats.
IMHO (in my honest/humble opinion), Its basically best not to risk the goldfish getting hurt as both angelfish and rainbow sharks can be very tempermental (particularly if the angels decide to breed, which is not uncommon in aquariums, they will become very territorial and agressive, which will be bad news for a fish like a black moore goldfish who has no sense of territory or defense against such fish).
Black moores are sub-tropical goldfish and do best in temps of 18-23 degree's, a 20gal with a filter is all you need to permanently house one .
