  1. Hi

    I have a 135 gallon planted community tank. I was at the CAS auction last weekend,admiring the gorgeous Killifish and wondering if they would work in my setup? I have about:

    5 german blue rams, one long fin

    3 Bolivian red rams

    15 zebra danios

    12 - 20 neon tetras

    15 small, medium, and large angels

    1 small algae eater

    1 red tailed black shark

    4 or 5 clown loaches

    and 2 black skirt tetras.

    I was just wondering if I could perhaps introduce something like a pair of blue gularis? Or something colourful if you have any suggestions...

    I also have a 10 gallon tank I could house them in, but not sure if that would be big enough? Thanks for the help!

  2. This has happened to me before, I have tried a couple of things.

    1. Remove the fish that you believe is bullying the other, so as not to stress the hurt fish further

    2. If you can, move the breeder tank so it is right up against your community tank, this diverts the fishes attention to the fish in your community tank

    3. Use a small, tough dither fish, like a zebra danio, or a small tetra, to allow the angels to focus on chasing off the other fish, instead of fighting, the fish should be small enough so that it is not a threat to the eggs

    4. Or if none of this works, move the pair back to the community tank to ''bond again'', then try moving them back into the breeder tank in about 2 - 4 weeks once both fish are recovered.

    Hopefully this helps! Good luck!

  3. I've seen some really blue pinoys on Youtube.

    im wondering if that might be due to an actinic blue bulb. Or mine might just be different. They are really picking up in color, Im almost due for another update :)

    They are probably Ken Kennedy's from the Phillipines. He was the one who originally imported nearly all of the blue angelfish varities into Canada and the United States. His fish are absolutely stunning.Here are some links to his videos...

    Actually Ken is not who brought them into Canada.

    But most of the Phillipine Blue angels are descendants from his stock. Sorry wording error. I believe he was the one to bring them into North America(United States I believe) where they were bred. Then, breeders began to sell them all over the place and now they're even sold here... Right?

  5. Hey Vince!

    When I gave my Black lace angelfish their own tank it looked very similar to this. I'm not sure if your going to let them parent raise in that tank or if your gonna pull the eggs. If your going to let them parent raise in that tank, you should take the gravel out. Once the fry go free-swimming, they will immediately go into the gravel, get stuck and die. Just something to consider.... Like the look of the tank though, very nice. Good luck!!
