Now that my tank is finally keeping steady healthy parameters I'm trying to figure out what type of fish to pair my one angel Butters with. He used to get beat up by a community of fish in another tank (loach, large angel, sharks) and he has PTSD. He's super mellow and gets frantic if fish are too hyper or get too close to him.
Right now I have him (he's 3"), 10 baby panda corys, 1 baby pleco, 2 baby mystery snails. He seems to be entertained with the corys. In the past I tried 3 painted glass fish: temperament worked out but they weren't great looking, 3 mollies: way too hyper and chaotic, and then 2 gouramis that nipped at his fins and made him shoot back and forth across the tank and surf the glass trying to get away from them.
What kind of fish are mellow, keep to their own territories, and generally might match well with an angel? Maybe one betta of a totally different color will mind their own business? Is he just fine in here alone? He seems like he might be bored sometimes, but maybe not. What does everyone think? Thank you
