ThatOneGuy206 Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	Hey , i'd like to setup a tank. Problem is it can only be a 10 gallon. I'd like it to be planted with some cardinals, and a quarter sized angel. My questions are how many cardinals should I add? and how long can I keep the angel before its to big for the tank?

Even a small, quarter-sized angelfish would outgrow a ten gallon tank very quickly. Instead, I'd buy a dwarf cichlid, like an apistogramma. With a two inch dwarf, you'd barely be able to fit six cardinal tetras in there, with superior filtration. Tetras don't produce much waste, and with weekly 30% water changes, you should be okay. By the way, welcome to the site! And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
