Hi everyone. I’m new here

[Kmirabella]

I’m looking for some advice. I have a 29 gallon Biorb tank with 4 Tetras, 3 female betas, 2 angel fish and 1 plecko. I was wondering if it’s advisable for me to add one more plecko to the tank.

any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi there , you are really over stocked in my opinion, I’d be removing fish not adding

REALLY? Overstocked? All my fish are about 1 inch. They're all really small.

Do you have plans on getting a bigger tank ? If not then yeah , the angels alone will need a bigger tank once grown

I just upgraded from a 16 to a 29 and added the angel fish and plecko. I have no plans to get a larger tank at this point.

They will be at this size , you have a while before they will out grow the tank ,but they will outgrow it , what species of pleco did you purchase?

The Pleco is a bristolenose

I agree you are overstocked. Your angels should be fully grown in 2 years - about 6" long and 10" high. As they mature there is a high probability that one of the angels will kill the other. That's just genetic and the fact that they "grew up together" won't make any difference. My bristlenose is 8". They are messy fish (biologically) so no more than 1 in a 29G.
You don't say what type of beta, but if they are beta splendens you should be aware that these are naturally solitary fish, so that may not work out.

FWIW never believe the advice given by someone trying to sell you fish in a fish shop. Seriouslyfish.com is a reliable site for researching fish requirements and compatability.

The 3 betas are female. 1 is a Koi beta and the other 2 are just assorted, not really sure, but they're def female. They're all seeming to be fine together. As far as the angels, if they get bigger I will either get a larger tank or rehome them. I've always tried to be conscience of the fish and tank size. When my goldfish grew, I got larger tanks

Thank you for all the info. It's exactly what I needed!

I agree the angel fish will most likely eat the other fish once they’re big enough and the betas can get a bit hostile but they will be able to hold their own with the angles. None the less you have a few years until they out grow the tank and then you could either upgrade your tank and/or split them into different tanks
