Cories will grow to between 1.5 and 2 inches in size. I'd just have the angels, little school of cories ( 6 ?)and the BN and stop there. Wait a bit to see how they do and you will know if you should add more fish  Last edited by DaFishMan at 27-Nov-2005 17:46 The Amazon Nut... |

| ladiejl Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 204 Votes: 23 Registered: 27-Feb-2003 | i have a pleco who is going in there. How would the tank be full if it just has two angels and a few cories?? Do you say that because the size the angels can get? 2 angels and a few cories?? Thats like only 5-6 fish in 29 gallons..... What kind of tetras?? Bloodfins or white clouds ok? Why not cherry barbs. Please answer. Last edited by ladiejl at 27-Nov-2005 17:31 |

Try not to overstock your tank. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

| DaMossMan Fish Guru Piranha Bait Posts: 2511 Kudos: 2117 Votes: 359 Registered: 16-Nov-2003 | I think a 29 would be perfect for a pair of angels, Perhaps a few cories, and no other tankmates. The tank would then be fully stocked. Can I suggest adding a small BN pleco to the mix to keep your tank green algae free ? Angels can be aggresive to smaller fish especially when the tank is overstocked. But they are very interesting to keep and observe, I think you'll enjoy them alot The Amazon Nut... |
