You could add a school of something. I'd add bleeding heart tetras, scissor tail rasboras, penguin tetras, or hatchetfish.

IMO I think 12 kuhlis is way too many !!

Angelfish get pretty big. Your tank is going to get over crowded

The more kuhulis the better! They are really shy unless there are enough of them. Yeah, a big school of tetras or rasbora so would be an awesome addition.

Ok thanks for clarifying that. For schooling fish I am not sure how many or what kind to get. Also how many more kuhlis would you suggest. Any other suggestions would be help!

I think 12 kuhlis is enough. I have never heard of rose line sharks but I just looked them up and it turns out they are the same thing as Denison barbs which I am familiar with. They get 4 1/2 inches. Is that too big considering the other fish in the tank.

I don't like the addition of the barbs aka sharks.

They prefer cooler temps and like faster moving water which means that they don't pair well with angels.

Another thing is your angels will be the centerpiece and might be better to get a top level dweller to balance out the tank.

50g is also the minimum for a Roseline.

Agreed, those roselines are going to stress the angels. It's lime being at a kids party.. you and your friend (angels) are standing there trying to have a peaceful conversation while the kids (roselines) buzz and whirl all around you...see what I'm getting at?

I understand what you all are saying. What fish would you suggest to take their place.

 

[Brookster123]

So something to replace the sharks... you want a nice schooling fish? Rummy nose tetras have a nice red face and would slightly resemble the sharks I guess.. while at the same time being great tank mates for angels.. they get large enough to avoid being on the menu. .

Yeah I am not necessarily looking for a tetra shaped like a shark it could be any tetra. What do you think of penguin tetras? Are there any other cool tetras you think would look nice in the tank?

 

[Fishninja]

After researching for a while I think bleeding heart tetras would be nice. What do you guys think about them.
