What more to add

[AngelLover1324]

Hello everyone! I recently added 6 angels, 1 bristlenose pleco, and 6 black skirt tetras into a 75 gal aquarium. I was wondering if I could add another type of tetras if so what kind or just add more of the same kind? If so how many more?

I don’t have any idea but I’d sure like to see a pic of the aquarium. Sounds beautiful.

You can check out aqadvisor.com and put in all your specs. It should help give you an idea of what your tank can handle. I will be doing angelfish and rummynose tetras in my 60g soon.

You could add another school of tetra. Get a full bodied type rather than thin bodied. Angels have been known to eat.... or at least attack smaller schooling fish.

I think KF is reading my mind. Add 6x Columbian Tetras. They are beautiful blue and red full bodied tetras.

If I added 6x rummynose tetras,Columbians, bleeding hearts or lemons would any of them be fine with the black skirt tetras and the angelfish? I just don’t want any nipping going on...

The standard isn't always the standard. Sometimes you just have to try it out and see what happens. I have black skirts currently with my angelfish and there's no fin nipping. Never has been and it's 3 years now but its claimed black skirts are fin nippers.

I've kept all the listed varieties of Tetras at one time or another. Never a problem with fin nipping.
