Currently I have a 15 gallon tank with 2 Angels (1 Small, 1 Medium) 2 Swordtails, 3 Fancy Guppies, 1 Clown Loach, 1 Tetra, and a Sunset Gourami. Plus on top of that my Swordtail gave birth to 9 baby fry which are currently living today and my Fancy Guppy is about to give birth any day now. I know this is a bit overcrowded but for the future (say a month) I need to know about what size tank I should get if I want to keep those fish and add another Clown Loach, 2 Angels, and 4 Neons... I was thinking about a 29 Gallon tank. Would that be suffecient for now? My fish seem perfectly content with what they have now but I still know its a bit overcrowded.
 
I say you should be looking at getting a 75 if you plan on keeping those fish.

Angels: Get 6" a piece, so they need their room! :lol:

Clown Loach: Should be kept in a group of three, at least, and they can grow to 1ft! So if you plan to keep the loach, you will need to get more of them, and give them more room!

The fish will outgrow the 29 gallon in a matter of months, so it'll be a waste of time/money to set it up, then have to buy yet another tank in a short period of time

and angelfish eat neon tetras
In the wild neons are the angle fishes natural diet yes, however I have heard the people keep them to gether in large aquariums with no problems, as long as the angels are kep well fed.

I aggree with all. you need to think at least 50gal for the angles and clowns need to be in groups.
 
Thanks for everyones advice... I am currently working on getting a bigger tank, im looking to get atleast a 29 gallong... I will get bigger if I can find a 55 tall.
