exactly, just add 7 more neons and go with same stocking i said.
If they are large neons and small angels and there is plant cover i would say they are fine. I keep neons with my discus and angel in my 75g tank, no problems, still got all 13 neons and its been 8 months so must be ok LOL

Fill out the Neon Tetra school to about 10 and go with the stock suggestion by Sneaky pete. Angels and Neons CAN live together if the Angels are small and you get the Neons large.

OK, that would be nice.

But I forgot to tell you that in the tank, there are also 3 Neon Tetras!

What do you propose now?

How about this:
60G tank Amazon Biotype

2 Angels
3 Discus
20 Rummynose Tetra
10 Corydoras Trilineatus
10 Corydoras Paleatus

Plant with Tall Slim leaf plants, such as Vallisneria Gigantea, vary with some shorted broadleaf plant such as Giant Hygro, and finish with some shorter plants such as Anubias, Cryptocornes, and if the light is high enough perhaps a red plant or two.

Every fish except for the Chinese algae eater is compatible. The CAE will get big and aggressive, i dont reccomend him.

I'll do graffiti,
If you sing to me in French.

Most of the fish mentioned are compatible, yes. Most of the cichlids are not, however.

In a 60 gallon tank I would have...

3 Pterophyllum scalare-Angelfish
1 Heros Severus-Severum (gold or green depends which you like more) or 1 Thorichthys meeki-Firemouth
2 Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi-Blue Ram or Mikrogeophagus Altispinosus-Bolivian Ram
10 Corydoras Adolfoi or 10 Corydoras Schwartzi
10 Paracheirodon axelrodi-Cardinal Tetra
1 Ancistrus triradiatus-BN Pleco

These (I think) are all compatible fish

Ok. Maybe I exagerated.

Ok, you mentioned all these types of tropical fish.

BUT ... are they all compatible?

Am I the only one who thinks he has no right to complain?

We're a free site(well premie membership is optional). We are under no obligation to help you at all. Yet we've scoured the profiles looking for fish that are to your liking(something you could have done easily). If we are doing such a terrible job, then maybe you should do some research yourself, and I wouldnt expect to get much more help here either. No one likes it when someone asks for help and then tells you its not good enough when you bend over backwards. IIRC you pulled this act in another thread as well.

Omavus,
it appears you are just trolling.
Perhaps since we can "do better" you could
tell us what fish interest you?
How many fish are you looking for?
Do you want big small medium fish?
Are you going to do an Amazon Biotope?

Angels actually come from soft water (ph 6-7 gh 100ppm or less)
and prefer it over harder water.

Is this all?

Come on guys you can do much better!

Swordtail - Xiphophorus hellerii

Hardy fish, and very colorful. Tends to be prolific, but your angels should help with that. Various patterns and colors. Males have an extended tail fin, that looks like a sword.

It's OK ... obviously you were trying to help (otherwise you wouldn't have posted).

Only that I would like, well, more colourful fish!

I've got a 2 foot square aquarium filled with moderately hard water in which I have 2 juvenile Angels.

I want to turn it into a community tank.

So I was just wandering whether someone is capable of suggesting me a good mix INCLUDING the 2 juvenile Angels.

Hope to have a lot of replies.

P.s. reasons for your choices are GREATLY appreciated!

Plecos, like Bristlenose or clowns
Bolivian Ram or apistos(?)
Corys

platies

OK ... this is not the point.

I want lists please!

Scientific names can easily be looked up using this sites profiles. As well as in less than a min using a google search.

Are you a member of the Malta Aquarist Society?.

Also, if you would give me the latin name instead of the common name of the fish it would be much better for me to identify the correct suggested fish.

Maybe I'm asking too much?

But hey ... this site is ranked #2 among the greatest tropical fish sites, so its members should live up to the name!
