Tank Stocking

[koinukun]

Hi everyone!

My tank is going along quite nicely now. It's been running with fish in for over 2 months now and I was wondering if it would be possible to add anything else? It's an AquaOne AR 850 155L (40g?) pH is 7.6 and temp is about 27'C

My current stock at the moment is;
1 angelfish (about 3 inches at the moment but growing up so fast!)
1 Bolivian Ram (Pretty sure he's a boy, he's a bit territorial, ignores the tetras but doesn't like the angelfish in his space.)
6 Lemon Tetra
7 Harlequin Rasboras

I think I want something for the bottom as once the angelfish grows up the mid - top will be quite full. But since my Ram is a bit on the agro side I was wondering if there was anything out there that could fend for itself?

I don't like loaches or otos. I like corys but I think my gravel is too sharp for them. I would love to get a female for the Ram but I find it impossible to sex them, even after studying several guides I think it's easier said than done.

How would a Bristlenose Catfish go? I want a fish with personality or really bright colours. My tank is crying out for something really blue. Any advice would be a great help!

Thanks in advance!

I think I'll go with a bristlenose. I have a really annoying problem with algae and there should be enough room with just him and the ram on the bottom, plus they look very unique.

1 thing I'm not sure about though and could do with some help please. I have heard that BN's can attach themselves to discus and other disk-shaped fish and eat their mucus coating or skin or something. Is this true? Would they do the same to my angelfish?

Thanks!
