Hmmm.... I'm at school and I'm really bored and iam staring at my aquarium tank animation I made and am thinking about my tank at home. I have decided I need some mor fish!!!

I am planning on two bristlenose plecos, but What else should I get? I really want an angel but I don't know if I have room...and what type i would like.

24 Gallon
dark substrate gravel
Lightly planted (more coming soon)
2 dwarf gouramis
1 female betta
1 pearl molly
1 yellow male fancy guppy
cave with red and green plastic plants

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

AHHHHH got a maths test in five minutes algebra and trigonometry and indices.
*Ok ok calm down* *think about fish, think about what tp put i*
*fantasise about huge 150g tank*
 
ACtually, math test was great... except for the part when in the middle of it my contact lense fell out and i had to wait til after to put it back in again and so i was trying to solve visual math problems with only one eye.

Come on.. any suggestion please?
 
3 words for you - Albino Bristlenose Plecos! They only get ~ 4-6 inches and they are really cool fish. Prettier than the brown ones IMO. I currently have 3 in my 29 gallon tank.

How about some of the medium sized rainbow fish? Like the boesemani or turquoise. Or maybe you could add a few more mollies or guppies. Or how about a couple cory cats?
 
Hmm good ideas...

So two albino bristlenose plecos,
1 small loach (snails)
rainbowfish not sure? They are beautiful but should they be in groups pairs or threes?
 
If your tank is only 24 gallons I would only get 1 bristlenose. That's all the tank will need, plus they produce a ton of waste. I'm not sure you would have any room for an angel, and it seems to me like an angel would pick on a slow moving fish like a guppy. Might be wrong about that though. :?
 
Well.... Just then the female betta killed the guppy.
So I decided although i really really want angelfish, i can't have them :( :( :(since my tank may be too small or not enough space since it is already stocked. And the female betta could get nippy. Could i get more female bettas? Oh... I love angels, guess they will have to wait for if my parents are kind enough to buy me a huge tank. :(
So...

1 Loach
1 Bristlenose pleco
Either rainbows or female bettas
 
Okay would this work?
24g current fish
2 Dwarf Gourami
1 Female Betta
1 White Molly

Possible additions
3 Rainbowfish (1 male 2 female)
1 Bristlenose pleco
2 Bolivian Ram
2 more female bettas?

IS that pushing the bio load? Any compatibility issues here?
