 | Angels: A Choice Ahead of ME |
Tainted Glory  Hobbyist Posts: 97 Kudos: 41 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-Dec-2005   | Well, if all goes as planned, I'll have a 180g soon. Anyway, I want to get a trio of angels-something out of the ordinary. I'm basically down to two choices: P. Scalara +hardy +awesome body shape and size +decent price Altums -sensitive -not readily available -expensive Yet, I cannot make up my mind. Signs should tell me that Altums are out of the question. The only tankmates are going to be a ray, Asian aro of some sorts, and B.Juruense. Discus may become an option later down the road. |

Go with scalares unless you really want to put the work into altums. Although if your gonna do rays, sensitivity to the altums isn't gonna matter much since you'll be planning the tank around the ray and the ray will be much more sensitive than any altum. |
