Re Stocking

[theanchorman]

hi guys just wondering, i have had my current fish for about 6-8 months i have guppys neon tetras platys dwarf corys and one plec. i might not be doing it yet but was going to start again

would these be compatible?

angel fish
goldem ram
dward cory
plec
algae eating shrimp?

just a thought for now

any suggestions will be welcomed

Hi.....a tip for you.

Just as important as fish compatibility is enviroment so it is always best to state size (litreage) and model of tank, fitration, age of set-up since cycling (maturity), plant and substrate etc. This way members can offer much more informed advice
Also, when suggesting a plec remember to indicate which species you are contenplating as some become monsterous in size

iv had ym tank set up for about 6 months now, water levels are good, (had guppy fry which ive had to give away as it was getting overstocked!) my subsrate is not quite sand, very small graval
i have a fluval plus two filter and my tank dimensions are 60cm x 35 cm x 30 whihc is about 60 litre i think i have two corners heavily planted right up to the top of the tank and two caves and a few hiding places my plec is a BN plec

Hi, that's better

I think I am right in suggesting your set up size is unsuitable for Angels.

60 litres equals 13 gallons equals 13" of adult sized fish (very roughly)

No expert on dwarf corys but I think they might well be an expensive meal for one or two of the fish on your shortlist.

I was going to get some at one point and believe they do best in a species tank, where they will probably spawn and the young will survive. Could get away with some endlers with them or similar.
