Help And Suggested Stocking Ideas For A 300 Litre?

[stup3rman]

Im soon purchasing a 300 litre tank, i want 4-5 angel fish, and either 1 or 6 red tail sharks, does anyone have any suggestions as what would look nice with these and what would go with them to have a nice healthy community tank?

if im correct you can only keep 1 rtbs as they are very aggressive.i would think a nice big school of cardinals or other tetera would be very nice,dont get neons with angel fish as when the angels get bigger they will most likely eat them.

yes i read sharks should be kept as singulars, or as a 6 or more to lower aggression in the school, and have many of each could i keep with the angels and a shark?
Anyone else have any suggestions and any more info on the shark stocking?

You are correct in theory about stocking the sharks as either singles or in large groups but you still might find you’re stuck with a very aggressive tank, especially when the sharks mature.

I seem to remember a post where someone, under the advice of his LFS bought six and ended up in a nightmare with them all fighting. I think that was in a 75 Gal to.
