Can I Add Buenos Aires Tetras?

[minnnt]

I've recently thinned one of my tanks out and i have been left with my 2 adult Angel Fish, 2 Firemouths which are around 3 inches. There is also 3 Bronze Cory's in there which shall soon be rising to 6. Have i got space for any top swimmers? I was thinking of Buenos Aires Tetras as they're big enough to not get eaten by the Angels but still have nice colouration.

If this is not possible then what can i add as the tank is looking a wee bit empty.

Cheers guys.

BA tetras would be way too fin nippy for the Angels, you'd be better off with congos or a smaller rainbow sp.

i would agree, but a school might be okay. how big is your tank?

Tank is 180 litres. Thanks for the advice on the B.A.'s

would harlequin rasboras be ok?

I've recently been converted to Hatchets - despite their colouring they're a really interesting fish to watch, and one of the few that stay in the top third of the tank. You'd easily get away with 6-8 HR's and 6 Hatchets.

Worth a thought anyway.

Really? Thanks!! I think I might have to go and have a look this weekend.

Do you change your interior design as much as you do your fish mate? And your cars for that matter, as i found out in our conversation the other week haha.

+1 on the Harlequins, beautifull shoalers. Stick together in a nice tight group when they feel like keeping safe, its great to see.

LOL! No mate, thats down to the missus.
