New Roma 240 On Its Way.

[delta]

Hi there.

Just got a call from my local MA that the Roma 240 I ordered has now arrived. I can collect it at the weekend and get it set up and kick start the cycle with media from my existing 200L community tank, so that's all cool.

Now for the stocking. I'm keen to have angels in this one and as I already have corys and kuhlis in the 200L would rather like some zebra loaches in the new tank. Can any one suggest to me how many angels would be a good number for the 240 and what other fish I could have alongside the angels that they won't munch once they've grown. I do like the flash of colour that neons provide and in my Father in law's LFS they have a stunning set up with redmoor wood, java ferns, giant vallis with angels and neons and some beautiful huge sterbai corys and it's kind of my inspiration for this tank. What neon tetra shaped fish would work? I like idea of juxtaposing the triangle shape of the angels with something more sleek and bullet shaped so not really wanting the deep bodied, triangly shaped tetras for this project.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Hi delta so this sounds like a 63 gallon? correct me if I'm wrong but anyways i am taking a guess here but don't add anything like tiger barbs because they killed my angels when i had them together but they all died so what i am saying is don't add any fin nippers so i don't have strong knowledge on angles but they may like heavily planted tanks so if you want those live plants but now the angles need at least 29 gallons so you can find what works for you and what doesn't so you tell me and by the way almost any tetra would work in my opinion they haven't even touched my angles but anyways good luck!

HI there, thanks for the reply.

Yes, it's a 63 US gallon tank. Tiger barbs are definitely a no-no, although, one day I would rather like to have a tiger barb tank.

Yah tigers are nice just they seem sensitive to me and anyways could you post a pic of your tank whenever possible?

Planning in doing a journal, I have some pics of my existing tank, the redmoor wood i have for the new tank and the custom made cabinet my hubby and I built especially for the two tanks. Just need to re-size the pics and see if I can remember my password for my photobucket account

Nice so i was wondering if maybe you should try a african dwarf frog but it may have to be small but they are honestly cool so that is a suggestion to your new tank!

I ain't to sure but i have another suggestion how about a rainbow fish they are pure beautifulness in my opinion or maybe black neons or bleeding heart tetra or.... etc.

rummynose! rummynose! rummynose!

Hee hee hee I just was knew someone was going to say that

Neons are the most likely to be eaten, cardinal teyras are slightly larger and still as pretty so if that's what you're after, go for them.

I have rummynose and yoyo loaches with my angels and everyone seems to be behaving at the moment.

I must say you may want to consider a dwarf gourami like a honey sunset
