New 70l Tank

[-germ-]

I've always thought of Angels as 30 gal(US) with 500mm minimum height, they can be difficult to keep, i returned urm... 4, 1 died.
I'd avoid them without a more than ideal set-up....

I have 3 in my jewul 120 and they are fine, my neighbour has the record 70 and she has 3 angels in there (dont get me started i have told her time and time again its mean, she also had a 14" pleco with a deformed tail in there poor thing, well prolly for the good of him, he died. it lived on cucumber) The angels seem ok but i wouldn't suggest more than 1 in a 70 litre maybe some catfish for the bottom and a few tetras.

Are those black widows?

Don't really want to hi-jack the thread of a fellow member. So please excuse.

Are those black widows?

Quite right, needed a bold black colour to compliment the colour of the cardinal tetra.
Really wanted Black Phantoms but none were available locally at that time so impatience took over.

On the angelfish side of things, I would refrain, they are ok whilst young, but may cause you problems in the long run.
Try to fill all water levels top middle and bottom.
See sig again for stocking levels plus I've added some Ottocinclus.
Makes for a reallly nice peaceful aquarium (no squabbles) I only perform maintenance once a week (30mins tops) otherwise my time is spent just feeding and observing, which is how it should be. Too many hangups on this and other forums on how to keep tropicalfish. Keep it simple.

My 65ltr tanks stocking list is shown below, all fish seem very happy and there are no squabbles whatsoever. I would suggest you keep a few bottom dwellers with your other fish such as corys or khuli loaches.
