Fish Compatibility

[Chuckletom]

Hi everyone! this is my first post here and i need some advice from more seasoned hobbiests than myself, i currently have a very nice 70 litre aquarium and have just purchased a 50 litre, my 70ltr has 2 angels, pakistan Loach, 5 black skirt tetras and 6 serpae tetras, all the fish are doing well and look helthy and active but i find the tetras are very aggresive at feeding time causing the angels distress and latley the angels have gone off their food, so in order to keep the angels happy i purchased the 50litre in order to house my 2 little tetra shoals, i guess my questions are what would be a good addition to the 70litre tank that i could keep peacefully with my angels and would provide a good display? and is there any fish i could keep with my crazy tetras? i love their personalities and want to find a suitable tankmate for them! thanks everyone!

What are the dimensions of your tank?

What are the dimensions of your tank?

The 50litre is 48 x 39 x 43cm

the 70litre is 61.5 x 36 x 48.5cm

That's actually not very roomy for two angels and a Yoyo loach. Figure you have just a bit more surface area there than a 15 gallon tank. Each of your fish should attain about 5-6 inches in length. The loach should be kept in a shoal, bare minimum 3, preferably 5. The depth of your tank, while it looks nice, doesn't do much to increase the carrying capacity. If your tank was longer I would have said add a pair of Pearl or Moonlight Gouramis, and two more loaches, but unless I've got the wrong picture in my head I would hold off on adding anything just yet. Let's see what other people have to say, maybe some with this type tank.
