BUT! an Angel, and several silver sharks are making a big fuss of a load of eggs under one leaf. What eggs could these be? You can see the angel suckling at the plant near end of vid.

Choose from:
5 silver sharks
2 angel fish
10 yellow german guppies
2 neon tetra (where could the other 10 have gone!)
10 sunset platy
10 tetra glowlight
1 dwarf gourami dawrf royal red
1 dwarf gourami neon blue
2 gourami pink kissers
2 gourami green kissers
1 mollie
1 sailfin mollie
1 9" plec (I saw him this week!)
10 cherry barbs
2 random platy
4 whelky snail things

If you have a 5ft long tank, id try adding a massive shoal of somekind 60+ strong, possibly harelquins or rummynose they will shoal fanstastically and make the tank look much much fuller

i think it doesnt look very stocked as you have a few of many different species

id stick to a few species but lots of them so they each have their own giant community

someone else has a 400l tank and was asking for opinions on the forum who stocked similar to yourself (i advised them the same lol)

just from my experience this has worked for me

i love the backdrop, i have that in my larger turtle tank
it is very nice, specially when algae starts to grow on it


i agree with ^, you should deffo get a load of shoaling fish, although in my experience they never seem to stick together
i had a tank full of various neons (long fin etc) and even though there were over 30 of each, they never stuck together

like I said on the BBS The neons have most likely been eaten by the Angels

harelquins are the best shoaling fish ive seen, look brilliant!

Hi Gaz! Yes, I think the Angels do it after lights out. They didn't seem so grumpy during the day...


Thanks for your comments everyone, I shall invest in a huge amount of Harlequins (having checked to see if they fit in an angels mouth first)
