My 150gal Angelfish build

Ok I see now,while it doesn't hurt to add some water from an established tank but it does little to none in helping with the cycling process..along with the seeded filter media I would've snagged some substrate from the tank as well,placing it a mesh bag near or under the out-flow of the filtration...

There was about a handful of gravel in there. I am only assuming this is where the ammonia and other parameters came from.

So someone offered to give me these fish for free. Haven't done any research on them yet but any thoughts?

Only one I would touch in a peacefull angel tank is the striped Raphael catfish

What about these guys without angels?

The bumble bee would also be a good addition

Well yeah it's definitely a cheaper option and I'm guessing they're all in together now so they must get along at the moment. I thought you were stuck on an angel tank???

Lol I was. But they told me I could have them all for free. Yes they are all together now in a 55g. If I don't take them they said they will "get flushed"

The polka dot cat and parrot fish may need a bigger tank later on but in my opinion I would take them if I was you cheaper and easier and you can't let them get flushed haha

Yea didn't want to see them flush perfectly healthy fish. Just going to have to get more cover for them.

Does anyone have any experience with these SunSun 304B canister filters? This site sends you additional stuff was wondering if it was worth it.

Ok so update on the tank. Fish are in and doing well. I have 5 red minor tetras that I bought and the following we're given to me for free or they would have been flushed. 1 tiger barb, 1 leporinus fasciatus approx 8inches now, 2 bumblebee catfish, 1 rainbow shark approx 5inches, 1 polkdadot catfish approx 5inches, 2 kissing gouramis, 2 small parrot fish, and 1 some kind of sucker. I have been trying to figure out what the sucker is.

Here are some pics.

Looking good try get some more tiger barbs if you can to make a school and the sucker is a Chinese algea eater in my opinion best cleaner fish there is out there when he gets a bit bigger you will hear a scraping sound when he cleans the glass nice fish actually they got tones of personality!

Three kissing gouramis would be best you don't need more than that unless you want more??? And sinking pellets and algae wafers are perfect
