	Stocking ideas
ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I have a 32 gallon tank, with 6 danios, 6 cories, and 6 black neons. If I were to give the danios away to a friend could I add any angelfish or would they bug the black neons?

The black neons get slightly larger than normal neons, so they're less of a mouthful to an angelfish. You might be able to put two angels in there, as long as you are diligent with your tank maintenance. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I don't know about the ottos, though they are great algae-eaters, they constantly produce waste. You should get someone else's opinion, but I would say no to the ottos.

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	So if I go with the 6 black neons, 6 cories, 6 cardinals and 1 angel and no ottos for now, does that sound good?

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	That sounds like a good setup. Out of curiousity, what kind of cories do you plan on having? Certain kinds act a little differently than others, and are more entertaining. It looks like you've got a good plan for your tank. When you finish it, don't forget to take pictures!

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I already have blue cories. They have velvet and I hope they make it. I now just have to find some one to give my danios to. Last edited by ericm at 15-Oct-2004 18:39

MegTheFish Banned Posts: 167 Votes: 1 Registered: 03-Aug-2004	Sorry about your blue cories, I hope they get better soon. I'm no expert at fish illness's, so, I'm asking a dumb question again, does velvet spread? If it does I would hold off on giving your friends the danios, you don't want them carrying it over to her tank. Just a though.

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	Yes velvet spreads. I am medicating my tank currently. I don't even have any one to give the danios to yet. I'm gonna try a few lfs to see if they will take them first.

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I think i have changed my mind about the angels. I have read another thread on cardinals and angels, and other people have experience their angels eating cardinals. I think maybe I want to go with the gouramies again. Unless anyone else has ideas of a good stocking list.
