 | Bala and Angels |
jproc  Fingerling Posts: 16 Kudos: 7 Votes: 1 Registered: 15-Jul-2006   | Setting up a 55 and want to stock it with some bala sharks and angels, and some bottom feeders. Any suggestions? Is this a bad combination? Should I alter the water at all for the cichlids? |

Angelfishes can do well in a larger range compared to many other cichlids. They are also more peaceful, so you have a lot of options to choose from. Most community fishes are all right, but the tinier ones might run into some trouble. |

Also there are smaller gourami, the Opaline are a very hardy variety they are a blueish colour and love to be in a school. The Anglels do get on well together but I am not to sure of their behaviour if they become a breeding pair with other Angels in the same tank. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
