In a tank that size id get rid of all the big fish and get more small ones. The Angels, CLown Loaches and Discus are going to ourgrow that tank real soon. Id also probably get rid of one shark.

agreed, the clown loaches and discus are gong to get tool large so I would get rid of them and stick with smaller fish.

What sharks? Roseline shark is another name for the Denison barb- a schooling fish.

Angels are fine.

The clowns take a long time to grow so those should be alright for a while.

The only thing with discus is they like groups so maby get rid of the discus.

Ah ive never known them by that name, always known them by denison barb

Thanks for the advice guys. I really like my bigger fish so i guess i'll probably move up to 75-100 gallon tank in the next few months. Probably give the discus a friend or two once i upgrade.

I'm glad you reconsidered the situation, shogun02

Welcome to the forum. I hope to see more of your posts and perhaps even see a picture of your new tank when the time comes.

IMPROPER ADVICE.

Roselines are a shoaling fish! Although they require a 55, if you heavily plant using real plants, I'm sure they'd love it. They get along with small tetra also.

The discus needs a group though. Get it to a LFS
Clown loaches get to big. Get them, to LFS.

Swordtail... they're livebeareres... Not sure if they need groups....

What I would do is up the sharks to a group of 3-5. Keep the angels. Rid yourself of the little guys and go with that.

The sharks should be all or none. Definatly not one! If anything, one more after you sort things out!
