so currently i have 7 neons (that i will up to 10) and 4 cories (that will be upped to 6) 3 harlequin rasboras (no intention of restocking them, I have someone waiting to take them to put in their kid's 20g and willing to up their numbers (he takes care of the tank, the kid is really young). a female betta, and a BN Pleco. and about 10 MTS.
So....... i don't know what to add next after my heat ich treatment is done. (these fish will be from petsmart and QTed in a large tub i have that i'll buy a spare filter/heater for) I wanted an angel or two. They're only about quarter size in body size at the store cus i LOVE angels... and I do plan to upgrade to a 40g after i move this summer (would do it now but its easier to move a 20g than a 40g) so the angelfish would be in a new home before the year's up. Thoughts on this? I know as they get bigger they'll eat the neons, which is why i plan to keep the 20g somewhere else and get a new 40g to put on the stand the 20g is currently on and put the 20g on a dresser or something..
So would getting a few angels be okay?
If not angels, what would you guys recommend to add in my tank? I've always preferred to have fish i can identify separately, give names to, bond with, etc. Like betta's or goldfish for example but i can't have a cold water fish in a warm water environment HAHA plus i love my planted tanks and I hear they're wrecking machines in planted aquariums.
I guess... i could get some more female bettas, but i hear that you'd want at least 5 to spread the aggression and I don't think there is enough space in a 20g for 5 bettas to all have their own territories.
