Adopting Some New Fish - Will They Fit In?

[Moonstone6]

Hi All,

I hope you can help me.

A friend of mine has a beautiful 125 ltr tank of Angel fish, a ruby shark, tetras and a plec.

My 125 ltr tank has 1 ruby shark, 3 clown loaches, 5 tetras, 2 green tiger barbs, 1 platy and two ghost shrimps that all seem to get on well.

She is planning on shutting down her tank to make room for a rather large dog they plan to adopt and has offered me her fish.

I would gladly take them but i'm concerned that my fish might kill the new ones or visa versa.

Can anyone advise if this would work or if i should leave some out etc?

Thank you

I would say your tank is way too small im afraid

you might also want to get a new bigger tank for yourself before your clown loaches start to grow deformed and start to suffer.

as for taking on her fish...not enough room

Also tiger barbs would be far too aggressive for the angels, I'm afraid.

simple answer... no. plus the ruby shark's and clown loaches will outgrow your tank.
