I have a 46g tank with 7 rainbowfish (maybe down to 6 shortly
) and 8 cories. The guy at the lfs was telling me that he'd kept discus with rainbowfish and I was soooo tempted to try it, except for the size of my tank and the higher temps which would be bad for my cories.
My Turquoise Rainbowfish are dying
I took one to the lfs the other day for possible recuperation. I was thinking maybe he had fungus or dropsy, but I don't know much about fish illnesses (thank goodness!) so I took him to the lfs and the owner said that it looked more like he was getting beat up on. Then today, I looked in and another one was dead, but I couldn't tell what had happened b/c the snails had already gotten him
I haven't SEEN my rainbowfish picking on each other, but I'm thinking about taking the remaining turquoise back for his own health (I'm going on the assumption that the other one didn't pull through, I'll find out tomorrow).
So. I'm thinking about maybe adding a pair of angels to my tank. Does that sound feasible? I'm going out of town next week through mid-August and wouldn't add any new fish before that, just to give things a chance to settle down in there.
