	good top dwellers
jenbabe256 Big Fish Posts: 316 Kudos: 312 Votes: 10 Registered: 21-Jul-2004	I was just wondering what suggestions everyone had for a good top dwelling fish to keep in a 55 gallon with 2 angels and some loaches. I already have bloodfin tetras in another tank, so preferably not that fish, but any other suggestion would be super appreciated. Thanks! Jen

They're a different shape than you're other fish, and definitely top dwellers. Gouramis are nice but with your setup the angels are really the centerpiece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Normally the most I can ever find in one place is two or three and I really would like to get at least 7 at one place, so we will see! Thanks again for the help! Jen
