I have a 30gallon tank with 4 swordtail 1 male 3 femal, and a gold angel they are all fine together. what fish could I add? Like maybe a dwarf gaurami or dwarf pleco or like danios? what fish will be able to live with them and not eat all their fry? O, and will snail eat the fry too?

thanks thats great news. Would a zebra pleco become to large for a 30 gallon?

lol NO!! they only grow about 2- 3 inches but i wouldnt put 1 of those in that tank 2 be honest just for the reason of it been so expensive and a very shy plec doesnt do well in fighting for food and they cost on average around £100- £200 for juvies

I've seen full grown breeders going for over $2000 us, no kidding.

The angel will eat your fry, a lot of people with out of control breeding livebearers actually buy angels for the purpose of cleaning up fry. In the wild they eat mainly smaller fish including the fry of smaller species. You have heaps of room left, danios would be fine.

Maybe some cories because they're really peaceful and hardy
