fatpuffer Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 How about a school of cory cats? or clown loaches? Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 If the tank is just 2 weeks old, and the filter etc. is new, you should probably wait a little bit. That being said, I agree w. Jonah - corys or loaches would be great. Maybe a school of hatchets, a pair of rams/apistos.... tetras.... there are many options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 If you have the old filter going, you could probably add more fish with little/no difficulty - just add a few at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpuffer Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The tiger barbs may nip the long fins of the angels...keep an eye on them. Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Chicklets Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 You should should be worried about the angels, the tiger barbs could cause fungal diseases by nipping the fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think I saw Clown loaches at Nature's Corner - one of the best LFS in Edmonton, IMO. You'll always get great service there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 It happens...just consult with the guys and gals in here before purchasing...or you may end up going back and returning the fish. Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
