Fourth aquarium!

The wider bodied Tetras will be fine.
Regular neons are the issue as they are adult angelfish' natural diet.

My friend keeps lemon tetras in with her angelfish in a 75 gallon and they do just fine. Black neons should be large enough as well.

As was said, if you raise the angelfish with the other fish that lessens the possibility of predation. Also some people use Cardinals instead of neons because the Cardinals are just big enough to not be eaten. Plus plenty of plants will give the smaller fish hiding places in case angels get feisty.

I have the same thing you are trying to do now but only my tank is a 25g tall. I have angelfish, tetras, and rams. It is heavily planted and looks great! Cant wait to see what your 50g will look like!

Here's an update, since I haven't posted for a while. I'm going to go buy some sand soon, and I'm probably going to order a huge piece of wood from http://www.manzanita-driftwood.com Then it's time for cycling!!!

When I get angelfish, is it best to get a single one or a male/female pair?

 

[SpaceFish42]

Anyone??? Here's the first picture:

Yes, it's going to have a LOT of plants. I was also thinking of adding some dried leaves, although I would have to find some that are native to South America...

 

[ImACoolguy]

Indian almond leaves? Don't know anything about them though.

I got some for my shrimp tank yesterday, and I (and the shrimp) love them. But I don't think they are native to that region.

 

[SpaceFish42]

Any suggestions for what I should add/remove/change in there so far?

 

[SpaceFish42]

Okay, now that I'm really starting to set it up, I got out the light thingy. I haven't looked at it until now, and I was wondering, why does it have FOUR plugs attached to it?

Sorry, I'm really not a lighting expert.

 

[SpaceFish42]

Does nobody know?

Just noticed you included a. Reinkeii. It's not an easy plant. Lots of iron and lots of light. My Finnex, ferts, and co2 still isn't doing it justice. Hope you have better luck with it.

Okay, thanks for the warning.

Okay, thanks for the warning.

Went back and read the thread. Could you post a pic of the light and plugs? Hard to tell without knowing a brand/model. 4 plugs is strange.

I can't get a picture, but I think it's a Current USA Nova Extreme.
