Bigworm Small Fry Posts: 12 Votes: 3 Registered: 20-Jan-2005   | I got a new 29 gal tank and im looking to put an angel fish. What else would go with him? How about a redtail shark? Im open to suggestions. |

PJ     Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004  | Tetras, corys, Barbs. There's heaps of fish that can go with Angels. I don't think a RTB shark would be good. Only because they grow quite large and they'll need a larger tank. |

| Bigworm Small Fry Posts: 12 Votes: 3 Registered: 20-Jan-2005 | I thought tetras were not a good mix? What about black neons? |

| PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004 | most tetras are alright with angels. Try and avoid the nippy tetras though. Black neons would be a good choice. |

| victimizati0n Banned Posts: 1217 Kudos: 1105 Votes: 31 Registered: 29-Apr-2004 | I wouldnt keep barbs in with angels, barbs are famous for their agressive fin nipping. Some tetras also nip too, like serpes. DONT keep them will swordtails, they will nip the angles to death (happened to us with 6 7-8 year old angles that we raised from fry  ) |

| superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003 | some barbs are notorious for nipping, like tiger barbs, but many are as placid as the most peaceful tetras, for example cherry barbs. Cherry barbs would be an excellent choice for that tank. Black neons would also be great! ><> |

| tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003 | Hate to tell you this, but that 29g is too small for an Angel. I have one in a 46g and it's too small. My Scapes |

| PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004 | sorry, when i said barbs i was thinking about Gold Barbs etc. I wouldn't put tiger barbs with an angel. |

| Bigworm Small Fry Posts: 12 Votes: 3 Registered: 20-Jan-2005 | Well does anyone have suggestions what i should put in the tank with the Neons? |

| PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004 | 6 Panda cories  or maybe a pair of Rams. |

| tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003 | Rams are great fish, I have three, but the water conditions must be excellent. You must do alot of water changes. 20% per week minimum. A good fish that is more harder would be a bolivian ram. Better size then a blue ram and will fit in your 29g. My Scapes |
