ok i know someone that is going to sell me some endlers, and his wanting to give away some of his angel and golden wonder killies

iv had this tank for 4 years and its a 20g tank with 5 female guppies and 2 males 5 female black mollies, 1 male platy, 1 female blue platy, 6 corys the guppies been in there since birth all born in this tank my population of gups stay done down now, they usually get eaten by the others the oldest i have in there are about 2 years old in guppies, my mollies were also born in this tank had them about 3 years, male platy and blue female wont breed so no worrys there had them for about 2 years and the corys i have them from begining 4 years, might be a lil overstocked if i add anything else huh?

well i have a 10g going with nothing and a 2g i can set up after i fix it

so which should i choose endlers which his selling, or the angel his giving away or killies his giving away

A 20G is unlikely to have enough room for an adult angel (minimum height recommended is 18" so that leaves the endlers and killies.

Either would be a nice choice, but the endlers would have to go in the empty 10G to avoid the risk of cross-breeding with the existing guppies.

Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

so its ok to put an angel fish in with all the others in the 20g wont that be really overstocked then with the angel in there

i think im going to go with the endlers in the 10g and add nothing else to the 20g but what is big enough for a 2g

No, its not. Angelfish need a tank 18 inches tall.

i would say take the kilis... they would be the most fun in your tank...

like previously stated the endlers might cross breed, which may or may not be bad.. i have seen cross bred guppy-endlers that are very attractive! and you cound sell them for a high price, but it all depends on what you want and what you are capable of haveing... ideally i cwould take the endlers and the kilis and put them in a new 10g with maybe some ADF or some ghost/cherry shrimp.. would be anice stock (just add plants ...)...

There aren't many fish small enough and inactive enough for a 2G.

How about going for something different? Have three or four small shrimp and a couple of pieces of java moss for them to pick through.
