Is This Suitable?

[Zorg]

i have a 21 gallon tank or so and i am planning to put a group of six red-eyed tetras, 6 corys probably the same kind and 3 or 4 otos. I have an angel i their at the moment, i know that the tank is to small for it , but i do look after the tank well (2 years keeping tropical). Any suggestions on anything really, alternative fish, overstocked that sort of thing.
Thanks

the otos could become angel chow me thinks.

The tetra could recieve death by angel....


Angels are agressive and generally make things hard. Especially in a tank too small. The cories I am unsure of, but I don't think angels tend to bother bottom dwellers as much...

If you remove the angelfish it would be fine yes. The red eye tetra's would probably go for the angel.

Yea I'd remove the angel and then you can get all of what you are planning.

My angel gets on fine with the red-eyes that i have now, 4 of them, i also have a lone glowlight in there and he seems fine, with the angel i mean. red-eyes are much bigger than neons and stockier as well. I find it hard to beleive that an angel would annoy the otos. My angel is a very calm except at feeding time. I do have some chinese algae eaters in there at the moment. I know that they are renown for being vicious killers with big pointy teeth and wouldn't eat algeae if his life depended on it . If i couldn't move the angel what would be your advice.
Thanks again

Do not consider adding Otocinclus to a new setup, It will only end in disaster. In my experience Otto's should only be added to a mature setup, algae et al. With thriving broad leafed plants such as Amazon swords and the like.

the tank has been up and running for about a year now

why get 6 cories? Get 3-4 and then you'll have space for other fish.
