    Curious about stocking my 10 gal

    Harlen Rasoboras! I believe they even live together in the wild; could be wrong. If not maybe a school of little tetras or a few otocinclus but in IMO these finish are little bit more sensitive. possibly some guppies?

    Help Introducing 3 New Angelfish

    I turned the lights on to feed them and then turned them back off. I removed the divider and they spent the first 5 min. just swimming around. Now they have slowed down and the big angel has pecked at a couple of them. Now I'll just turn the lights back on and hope for the best.

    Bala Sharks In 55 Gallon Aquarium?

    In that case can you guys recommend some other fish that I should have instead? I want a decent sized fish(s) to be the center piece(s) of my aquarium. I already tried angels but the leaf fish just ended up having a snack. Chris
