Hi All, I cant post polls, so I will post a thread in the form of a poll.
I am setting up a 90g tank this week, and am wanting to add a Larger showcase fish. So far the largest fish that will be in there will be my Angelfish, Sneaky Pete.

Here are the choices:
[font color="#000080"]A) Green Severum [/font]
[font color="#C00000"] B) Couple More Angelfish [/font]
[font color="#008000"]C) Opaline Gouramis [/font]
[font color="#BF791F"]D) Chinese Hi Fin Banded Shark
[font color="#800080"]E) Other - Heres my suggestion... [/font]

Angels should ideally be in shoals so given it's already in there, it would have to be B)
In an ideal situation however, my personal preference would be the severum though - A

E) I'd go with a moonlight or snakeskin gourami...

But before adding a gourami, I agree, add a few more angelfish.

I think angels are really pretty in groups - I agree with Me the shark will get much too large for the tank.

B. More angels. They look good together, especially when mixed such as marbled and veiled.
It has been my experience that when mature, angels and severums don't get along that well. Could just have been those that I had didn't like each other.
Hi-finned banded sharks get 2+ feet and loose their neat shape and color. There is a thread posted about them somewhere.

Severum. The Chinese Hi-Fin shark grows to 2ft. long, too big.

sorry Fish1, no birchirs! I dont want all my existing fish being food! Hehe
No fish that eat other fish by nature.
Ones that eat small fish are ok cuz I can leave small fish outta the set up.
I think I am gonna go with a pair more angels, making 3 in total. And I think I am going to go with an Opaline Gourami as well.
Thanks for voting peeps! Angels it is!
