Aquarium Advice Freak
Hello,
I am currently looking for some advice on tank stockings. The first tank is a 30 gallon with a Aquaclear 70 filter system. The substrate is sand, although I am slowly trying to change it to a rock/glass pebble substrate that will not injure my cories. The tank has about 7 different plants in it, as well as driftwood. The tank is currently stocked with 2 angelfish, 4 tetras, 4 cories, 2 kuhli loches, 3 nerite snails and one clown pleco. I am looking for another stocking option that is more colorful and flashy that will be compatible with the other fish currently housed in the aquarium. I am highly interested in cherry bards and thread fin rainbow fish, but am looking for other suggestions. I was considering a dwarf gouranami, but I know they can sometimes be aggressive. I was also wondering how rams would do in the tank? I also want to restock the kuhli loaches up to at least three but possibly five, introduce another cory, and add one more tetra to make their numbers 5.
Unfortunately, this leads to my next issue. The two angelfish have begun to fight with each other and it has caused the silver one to develop minor injuries, as well as made the other fish more shy of coming out. I am going to attempt to move the silver one to my 13 gallon tall aquarium. It is unfortunately, the largest size I have available. It is the same height as a 20 gallon, but the width of a 10. I know angels prefer larger, but considering the height of the tank I think it will be fine. I was not sure if I should try stocking that tank with other fish other than the angel, or leaving him by himself. Thanks!
