will these fish go together and does anybody have a suggestion on what fish to get do if there is remaining space? I don't want a shoaling fish and I just want 2 of that kind that goes with the corys and angels?
 
I would say that would pretty much stock the tank. angels can get rather large and can be aggressive (but not always) small spaces may make them more so.
 
Hey fishdude your question has only been on the board for a few hours,most of us have jobs and other things to do as well as try and answer questions on the forum so surely the answer can wait a little while. :crazy:

A 10g is too small for angels,i wouldnt keep them in anything less than 30g,in fact i wouldnt keep any fish that grows over 2" in a 10g.For a tank that size you should be looking at keeping fish like tetras danios corys ottos ect.
 
IMO
1 pair of angels would be fine in a 20gal High, but not a 10 gal, although I currently have one of my breeding pairs in a 10 gal and they have spawned twice....only because my 29 gal is infested with hydra and planaria :sick: :sick: , and I haven't had time to take care of it yet.....I am just using the 10 gal as a holding tank......wouldn't recommend it for long term.

HTH
 
mama and cfc I agree with you, I never said that they would be happy. but they would live... but whats the point if you don't have happy fish
 
Hi Fishdude

The angels and corys will go well together. The problem as is the the take is far too small for even the angels by them selfs.
As a general rule, stocking should be 1" per gall, for the first 6 months, then 2" per gall uk after that. As angels can reach 6" (and alot of mine are over this size) then just two fish will need at least 12 galls UK, to begin with.

As other replys have said you will have to look at smaller fish for this tank
