Hi, I had a question about making a freshwater setup in a 10 gallon tank. I previously had a betta in the tank, who unfortunately died so I'm looking to stock the tank. Since the tank is empty, I was just browsing freshwater fish. I was wondering if it were possible if an angelfish and 2 or 3 cory catfish (most likely pandas) could live in the 10 gallon together or if it would be considered overstocking? I'd have to check if the tank is tall enough to keep an angelfish, but I believe it is.
I did some research, and I've seen how angelfish generally are kept in shoals of 5-6 angelfish and should not be kept in groups of 2-4. I saw some saying 1 could live alone with some peaceful fish, such as cory catfish. Is this true? I don't want any fish in the tank to be stressed or fight among themselves.
Also, in the event that this setup would work, would it be smart to buy live plants for these fish in addition to what I already have? I was afraid to buy anything live with my betta because they're so gentle and I didn't want to affect the PH levels. If so, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for any advice that can be give!
