I have two tanks 10 & 29 gallon. The Ten has been up for a year now. Currently only holding three African Dwarf frogs and a black 5 month old Angel fish. The frogs are in a mating cycle. Constantly making this buzzing noise. The 29 gallon has good water level aka inhabitable for fish for the past 72 hours now. I purchased a Zebra African albino fish. An extremely social fish who has been acclimating to his tank quite nicely. His tank mates include; 2 Powder Blue Gourami, African Spotted Leopard Fish, and "potentially" that Black Angelfish. My concern is over water nitrate levels. From what I've read the Angels are extremely sensitive to chlorine and water hardness and I'm just worried about her because her personality is similar to The Albino. Cichlids are very diverse and i know how territorial they can be. Also if there are any recommendations for additional cichlids I'm all ears.
The 29 gallon has the 5 fish I mentioned in addition to a Pleco named Oz. Oz was purchased a year ago when I originally started the 10 gal. what has been a blossoming of aquarium knowledge this past year has seen Oz grow from 2 inches at time of purchase to 3 3/4 inch. I'm curious as to the timeline I'm looking at for the tank mates like Oz and The Albino Zebra cichlid. Albino is 3 inches now and purchased from my local Petsmart. The tank has been stocked with additional plants and currently holds 9 plants, moss ball, bamboo, grass and three 6-8 inch plants.
