I will be setting up my four foot tank again soon and well I have 3 six inch Kissing Gouramis that will be going into this tank. Also a few Clown Loaches (6 - 12) as well as a few bistlenose catfish.

I am wondering if I can possibly put in a single Angel fish or do they need to be in groups? I had 3 in this tank once and they beat each other up and so got rid of them.

If not a single or a pair what other fish that will be OK? I have another tank that has other fish (neons, guppies, kuhli loaches, cory's) so was thinking of other fish then these. Maybe Guppies as they are pretty cool.

Also if I was to breed the guppies will they survive as fry in the bigger tank? I knowif Angels were present that they would eat them. That I guess can be a good control fish that I can feed the baby ones that I am not needing to keep numbers in control?

Are there other fish that could be put int he four foot tank that would also like live guppy fry to eat?

A few Clown Loaches (6 - 12) in a 4 foot tank......... I think you need a bigger tank for all those Clown Loaches.
