New Restocking Community Tank 120 Litres Ideas?

[kelvinrankin767]

I am setting up a 120 L tank (31 US Gallons) and i want a peaceful nice community tank, I am using sand as a substrate and the tank will be moderatly planted, These are the fish i would like to include alough this is what i would like could you guys tell me if anything is wrong or if i can add more fish or less Thanks responces will be highly appericated.

6 Corydoras (not sure what type yet)
12 guppies (All male)
1 Angelfish
6-8 Molley's

I was thinking of neons or some sholing fish later down the line once my water has matures a few months But there is a chance if my angel is big enough he will eat them, But i have read alot that if i buy an angelfish as a baby and add the neons in at a decent size they will grow up together and will not eat them is this true?

i don't think a 120ltr is big enough for an angel, if you go by the rule that they need a min of 18 inches of water height.

its more than big enough for an angel i had angels before in that tank and they were amazing and happy and the tank is 17" deep

What beth is trying to say is that angels ideally need 18" worth of water,

Your tank is 17" then take off an inch at the top for the water fill line and 1-2" off for the gravel/sand substrate and your angels are only left with at best 15" worth of water, more likely to be 14"

How do you know your angels were happy, did they smile at you?

How long did you have your other angels for?

had my two black angels for about 3-4 years then my whole tank got killed cause there was a guy cleaning our house when we were on holiday and he decied to clean the tank out and put the fish in cold tap water until he cleaned it what an idiot the only sirvivor was my red clawed crayfish who survived very well for 2 weeks in cold water
