Vallisneria Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Those guys look great! I love the blue speckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLIP Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Val go with a golden vailtail angelfish i just picked up a fullgrown one for $20 at the LFS in sherwood park she's just stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Not a fan of veil tail angelfish, for some reason I dont' like fancy finned fish. I like the marbel koi and the wild stripped ones. I'm still torn between trying something new or sticking to angelfish. Angelfish look so pretty in a planted tank. I guess I'll just have to wait to see if anything catches my eye at the stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have some of these black ghost angels Val. The flash kind of washed out the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyb440 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) How about one of the larger rainbowfish, such as a boesmani or turquoise rainbow? Edited July 26, 2008 by nyb440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'd love to get some bosemani rainbows. They are definitely on the growing list. I went to nature's cornerstore and they had some nice angels. No marble koi though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've never really wanted to keep discus. They look pretty but the maintenace is more then I want to do. Would Kribs work? I've heard they can be pretty territorial when breeding and can keep all the fish stuck to one side of the tank. IS this the norm or just get an aggressive pair. Severums dont' work well with plants right? Firemouths? Are they aggressive? Severums do eat plants, definitely not recommended unless you want to see all of your plants gone. Firemouths, well some can be aggressive. We had ours in with our community tank, he was pretty aggressive towards all the other fish, like our bolivian rams, so we removed him and now he has a nice home with our salvinis, convicts etc. I think they might just be a little too aggressive for a good community tank, but you can surely give it a try. What about a Cichlasoma dimerus? or a couple bolivian rams. There are a few options. I just would try not to get anything too aggressive for your tank. Kribensis might work, but if you have a breeding pair that want to spawn, they may stir up some trouble. To be honest angels are really nice because they stay near the top, and you can see them. Some of these other fish you might not see all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooot Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I too have Angels as my centre piece. Can anyone share with me how many angels if felt to be the maximum in a 33g. tank? I am very new to all this and still learning! Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 For a 33g, 2 would be ideal, or you could go with 3 and hope you don't get a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
