Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello
I recently started keeping aquariums and thought this looked like a good place for advice. So hello and thanks for any tips!
A little backstory: I moved in with my girlfriend and her two teenage sons in March. In one room was a 10 gallon tank where Stretchy the African Clawed Frog languished. A small yellow bellied slider turtle (Yoda) lived a miserable existence in another 10 gallon. I upgraded the ACF tank immediately, got a 20 gallon long with some sand and now he's a happy fellow. Yoda still lives in the 10 gallon but I actually clean the water and keep a lot more in it. I have to upgrade his living situation soon as he's really started to grow.
Anyway, when I got the 20 gallon I also got a 29 gallon for fish that I keep underneath it in a metal stand. There's been a high casualty rate with the various goldfish, so now its occupants are one angelfish and a pleco. I'm going to go the tetra route now, so I had a few questions:
1. How many tetras would be good? I guess a couple schools of 6-8 fish?
2. What types of tetras or other fish would be good companions for the angelfish?
3. Freshwater clams good to throw in there?
Thanks for any advice!
cheers!
