You can also add a pair of Angels or Rams. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/album?.dir=b5f2 http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

What about some of the smaller cichlids? Or barbs? ^_^ [hr width='40%'] It only hurts when I breathe"  |

A school of harlequin rasboras, some sort of gourami, and a group of kuhli loaches. There are also quite a few nice barbs available which would work as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| cols Hobbyist Posts: 129 Kudos: 91 Votes: 1 Registered: 03-May-2004 | im open for any suggestions, i have rosy barbs and gold barbs already in my other tanks. oh and pentazona barbs. i had thought about a school of cardinals but i think my lighting is too bright to make them stand out. is 30 gal too small for angels? |
