Stocking Question

[ALEXF]

Hello,

I was wondering what people thought about adding something more to my tank.

I currently have

1-Angelfish (everywhere)
2-Bolivian Rams (bottom)
2-Apistogramma Cacatuoides (bottom)
6-Upside Down Catfish (bottom middle)
6-Checkerboard Barbs (middle)
1-Guppy (middle top)
3-Bamboo Shrimp (everywhere)
12-Von Rio Tetras (middle)

These are the fish and where they hang out the most.

Iwas thinking about adding another angel as mine has a tendancy to float all over the tank and possibily some other top dwelling fish.

Please tell me what you think. o yea the tank is a 55 gallon tank, heaily planted (fake) 4 caves, and 700gph filtration.

I don't think you would have any problem with a few more fish. Based on the 1" per gallon guide, you would be fully (or over) stocked but it appears you certainly have the filtration for it at over 10X the tank size. Just be careful with what you add as eventually, angels will probably eat any fish they can get in their mouth. It's possible that 2 angels will harass each other too. Mine do but they neer hurt each other.

Yes, if i added another angel, i planned on pulling the more aggressive one out and rearranging things to confuse the territories, and im bought the one angel small, and will buy the other the same because i have read that if they are together when they are small then they dont normally bother the others.

Definitely try to match the new angel's size to the one you have. You don't want a large one and a small one.

that was definately the plan. Thanks.

Anyone else is still welcome to chim in on their thoughts.
