serpae tetra tank mates

[corydoralover]

What other species can coexist with serpae tetras in a 60 gallon tank? My tank is currently empty. Could albino corys and tiger barbs live with the serpae tetras?

 

[FishyBusiness]

I have 16 serpae, 10 red eye tetras, 2 pictus cats, 1 pearl gourami, 1 Bolivian ram and some zebra danios in my 90 gallon tank. Nobody bothers each other. A very peaceful, active tank

 

[corydoralover]

But do you think the tiger barbs and the serpae tetras would get along?

 

[FishyBusiness]

Sorry I completely missed the last part! Yes with the cories and with caution with the tiger barbs. Keep the barbs in a good school of about 8-10, they are very nippy fish. I love the look of them, but I avoid them all together... That's just me tho.

 

[corydoralover]

Thanks for info

Do think angelfish would be all right with serpae tetras and albino corys?

 

[FishyBusiness]

I think that would be better than the tiger barbs. But corys can basically be with any fish so they shouldn't be an issue either way.

 

[corydoralover]

I was more worried about the angles getting aggressive

 

[corydoralover]

But thanks though. I dont have much experience with angel fish

I would worry WAY more about the angelfish getting nipped to death.

 

[corydoralover]

The angels getting nipped by the tiger barbs or the serpae tetra?

 

[Sillyfishies]

The angels getting nipped by the tiger barbs or the serpae tetra?

Both. They're both nippy fish. And a slow moving angelfish is a perfect target.

 

[corydoralover]

So what fish would go good with angels?

 

[Sillyfishies]

So what fish would go good with angels?

Rummynose tetras, cardinal tetras, rams, cories, hatchetfish, and many other schooling fish.

 

[corydoralover]

Would it be ok quarantine an angel fish in a 10 gallon?

 

[corydoralover]

Ignore what i said. Is a 25 gallon tank alright to quarantine 2 angelfish?

Ignore what i said. Is a 25 gallon tank alright to quarantine 2 angelfish?

Yes for quarantine. Not for any length of time though.

 

[corydoralover]

I would quarantine them for 2 weeks then i would put them in a 60 gallon tank

 

[molliwopp]

Yes but keep on eye on them and the serpae tetra, sillyfishes was right about them being nippy.

 

[corydoralover]

Im actually only going to put 10 albino corys and 2 angelfish fish in the tank
