at the pet store considering an angel

[iheartmyed9]

Currently I have the following
7 jumbo neon tetra
7 neon glofish
1 algae eater
2 Dalmatian mollies
3 guppies

Can I get the angel?

Kinda depends on the size of the tank as well, however, the glofish and the neons could become lunch to an adult angel. I have never had this problem, but it is common. Other than that concern, I don't think you would have a problem if the tank is large enough. Angels need room for their fins so a 29gal is the minimum in my opinion. Good luck!

He's mine! I have a 55 gallon tall!

Don't be surprised if you guppy population declines when the angel gets bigger. Other than that, I don't see any problems.

 

[iheartmyed9]

I don't wanna lose my guppies and angels get pretty big...... so meet my new friend. Dwarf Gourami. X2

 

[JoeBob]

Nice gourami (x2) hope it goes well!

 

[iheartmyed9]

I just happen to walk by and spot them. I know they can be aggressive too but they are beautiful!

Also how well is my tank stocked now? Do I have any more room for future fish? If I keep them small.

IMO, you'd have been all set getting the angel, a pair of them even. Judging by what you have now, you have quite a bit of room to add some new inhabitants.

 

[iheartmyed9]

Awesome. I want to continue working on the planting of the bottom

I think the dg are a safer choice. Prett also.
Other fish? Rummy-nose tetras, black neons, Pristella tetra, kerri blue tetra, bentosi tetra. You do indeed have some stocking space. You could easily add another school in there.
I would also recommend some corys for the bottom.

There opening a PETCO near my house so I'm hoping they have a different variety than my local Petsmart. I want to add maybe 10 more fish max.
