Ok, after a month of fishless cycling, finally i have fish in my tank!

Tank is a 4x2x2", Has a large piece of driftwood, a few big rocks, and no plants. All my fish are babys.

So far in my tank i have:

6 Angels (2 pure Black ones, 2 White (almost see thru) with a bit of red, and 2 silver with black stripes.
6 Clown Loaches
3 Silver Dollars
1 Bristlenose Catfish
3 Kuhli Loaches (more to come... maybe)
and
2 Black Ghost Knifes

Now i know that 2 black ghost knifes is probably too much (1 is probably pushing it) But I have had them for months (before i knew how big they grew, and from VERY misleading LFS advice) also before i knew about TFF!! They are still really small, and they do grow relatively slow. They might get a bigger tank in the future.

So what do you think of the rest of the stocking? Would you add any more fish?

Thanks for the advice/opinions.
 
i wouldnt add more fish it may be ok at the moment when they are all small but you have quite a few large growing fish. can we see some pics?
 
Ok, now this is the best picture i can manage at the moment! You cant see much at all, just the angels.
I havent had a chance yet to get some better pics, but i will soon. 2 Pics, 1 is before adding fish, and 1 is with fish.

looks nice. silver dollars might nip the ghost knifes though.
 
That is a gorgeous tank love the wood and rocks would have had a black background personally and lilly pipes for the filter but gorgeous wood, And I see what you mean about tiny angels ;) I think you will be ok now but eventually to keep all those I think a 6x2x2 would be ideal for the adults.
 
Silver dolla? A bit small perhaps but you can be the judge of that. Nice looking tank, being biased id say plants would add to it but again, personal prefferance.
