the fish are angel's and i wouldnt recomend adding any more fish its hard to judge the size of that tank from the pics but i have lost nearly a whole shoal of neons because of my angels i learnt that the hard way, oh the tank looks realy good as well i would suggest moving those to a bigger tank.

Hey Hewitt,
As said they are Angelfish, which will grow to between 6-8" in size. To give you a general rule of thumb you should have 10Gallons of water for each angel, which shows that you are already overstocked. You wil also find that if any 2 pair up then in that sized tank the others would most likely end up severely injured if not killed off by the pair.

As i'm sure your already guessing they will need to be rehomed to a much bigger tank

Ok Coool Thanks Guys !
Pretty Skint At The Mo, But Im Thinking Of Having A Tank Which Would Be Around The Same Width As The Cabinate Which Is Holding It Up ! You Know Of Any Going Cheap?

Very nice tank, But i guess angel like tall tank not hex tank.

Your angelfish need to rehomed, if you live near me I'd buy one they look lovely.

It looks like you have 4, they could do with 40g.

I'm sorry, but then they need to be re-homed. They look stunted, and keeping them in that is terrible... Sorry, but you need to realize..

10g per angel is complete crap I'd say, maybe STARTING at 30g, but not starting from 10g. I see your point though, and yes, rehome the angels to the LFS.

The guy at the shop is an idiot.

He runs a shop.

What do shops do?

Make money.

Any comments on the plants?

Hello, I agree with others that those Angels will outgrow your tank soon. > they get to over 6inches (top-bottom)

The plants will probably grow a fair bit, assuming your lighting is good. 'Amazon Sword' plants are good for Angelfish> they are broad-leaved plants that they like a lot/ lay eggs on, eventually.

(P.s; I would buy those Angels, if you lived near North-East Uk.)

>Never trust large Garden Centre Aquatics or 'Pets At Home'.> they'll say anything for a Sale!
