Stocking Dilemna

[Lord Fishheart]

Looking to stock my 2nd 90 Litre tank as a sort of show tank, so people say "wow what is that"

I am looking at buying a Siamese Fighting Fish (male), 2 Angel Fish and 6 Glass Catfish.

Can anybody see any problems mixing these fish together?

Grateful for any advice

i cant see any problems

angels are a bit likely to nip the siamese fighters fins, i think bettas really do much much better in small tank by themselves not in community set up's.

also how tall is the tank, needs to be 18" for angels, assuming it is tall enough the tank's right on the limit for angels size wise, they'd do better in something bigger.

62x39x52cm tank dimensions

is 39 the height? if so then it's not tall enough, wants to be 45cm tall for angels.

No sorry, blooming confusing all these measurements

62cm long x 39cm wide x 53cm high

 

[Miss Wiggle]

ha ha fair enough, i never know which way round the measurements should go?!

in that case it's OK for angels, it's not optimum and I would *prefer* to see them in something bigger, however it could work. because angels can be agressive and territorial and the tanks on the small side i would consider just having 1 angel instead of a pair.

I'd leave the betta out of the equation, if he does't like the other fish he may well attack, bettas usually prefer to live alone. if you go for it, make sure you have a back up plan if you need to move him out of there
