hello i have a 130l tank with a pair of angels. today i added 6 giant danios and they seem fine. I want to add a trio of pearl gouramis and a schoal of cories and maybe some ottos. will this all be ok do you think? thanks

Yeah, that should be ok as long as you keep up with regular water changes, gravel vacs, and have a filter that can cope with the biomass. Also, just keep an eye on the angels as they mature, because if they breed they might get more agressive. Other than that it sounds like a great stocklist.

Just wanted to mention too, good choice on the Giant Danios :good:

I have them as dither fish in my tank and they add a beautiful orange color and lots of movement :good:

I actualy just had one baby danio survive to juvenile stage as well so it's interesting to watch it grow. It's sprouted ridiculously fast. It has doubled in size once a week for prob the last three weeks though it will start to slow down a little now that it's almost 5/8" to 3/4" long. Good luck
