In my 46 gallon (which is apparently not yet fully cycled) I have 1 betta, 2 gold twinbar platies, 2 clown loaches, 1 pigeon red discus, and 3 otocinclus. I'm not sure what to add next, but I have an idea, so I thought I'd just run this by you guys first. I am definitely getting another discus. I also want 2 silver lyretail mollies, I think they look cool. And of course what tank is complete without a pair of beautiful koi angels. :wub: :drool: Now a lot of you will say no, angels and bettas are not compatible, but lately i have been hearing a lot of success stories of people keeping fish together that had previously been thought impossible. (Example: Barbs with gouramis or angels, angels or gouramis with bettas, male bettas with female bettas, etc...) Thus, I'm willing to take the risk. If all else fails, I'll return the angels; I can't bear to move poor Charlie to a smaller tank. I also want to get in this tank a rainbow shark. Would they molest my other fish, or are they only aggressive with each other? Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
 
Have you thought about cory cats? Pretty much the only bottom dwellers you have now are the clown loaches so there's plenty of room in that "territory" for some cories.

Some people caution against keeping angels with discus b/c the angels can carry parasites that can harm the discus. Just a word of warning :p
 
Yes I've heard about that. I think I'll risk it; my discus has got through worse. I don't really want cories, I'm gonna set up a ten gallon specifically for them.

EDIT: Basically I'm just looking for opinions on what i have already, not suggestions for different fish. You're only gonna confuse me lol. :crazy: :S I've been planning this for a while and I change it almost every day, but I think I've finally got something I like.
 
Well in that case I guess I'm fine... or... anyone got any objections? Am I messing up horribly by doing this? Speak now or forever hold your peace... :p
 
So basically nobody has any VALUABLE input whatsoever? Sad...

Just joking :p
 
Seriously dude... stop spamming it's confusing me :crazy: I keep coming back here thinking I'm gonna get some info.
 
I personally wouldn't keep Discus and Angels together because of the problems mentioned in earlier posts.

Also, you seem to very quick to call people spammers and accuse them of increasing their post count intentionally when you yourself add replies to your own topics asking why no-one has replied?

Hmmm... no replies?
