ummm.... yeah...

so this user has come up plenty of times when it comes to this subject, hasn't it. but I've made a list of fish that appeal to me that are compatible with each other chemistry wise. I haven't kept most of these fish and I'm unsure of some of the temperments. Can you guys help me out with a FINAL stock for the tank? LAST time.... or did I say that on the last post?...

Tank size: 50

Fish Species:

Flying Fox Epalzeorhynchus Kalopterus
Bristle nosed catfish Ancistrus Sp.
Pygmy Corydoras Corydoras Pygmaeus
Rummynose Tetra Hemigrammus Bleheri
Pearl Gourami Trichogaster Leeri
Neon Tetra Paracheirodon Innesi
Angelfish Pterophyllum Scalare

Utilize as many of these species as possible, and again, THANKS SO MUCH

TFA101

ok, I'll come up with the stock, and you guys check, here's one:

1 Flying Fox
3 Angelfish (Koi, Striped, Marbled)
1 Ancistrus Catfish (albino or regular bristlenose)
4 Bleeding Heart Tetras

for 50 gallons

the tetras might nip the angel? IDK, just felt like helping since I know how you feel...
I also have a post on this and i still dont get my final stock suggestion...


if youre getting tetras get more than 4... at least one more.

It all sounds good...
If it were me, I would probably change the 4 bleeding heart tetras to another schooling fish. Harlequin Rasbora's are nice and peaceful schooling fish. Small enough to utilize a nice school of them. And will not bother the Angel fish.

but vice versa, rasboras are not very big, angels on the other hand.... ummm, I'm thinking rummynoses, a school of 10 maybe?

I found some pygmy cories at my LFS, but they are supposed to grow to the size of an average neon tetra. How am I over/under stocked?

I believe the tetras, pleco, angelfish and fox add up to about 50 inches? I believe I've heard that Flying Fox can end up being rather aggressive but I've never own one so I can't really say for sure.

Personal preference of the fish you've listed so far for me I believe would be the following. I could be wrong with the sizes, I try to over estimate but lately I've found I've been under estimating.
2 Angelfish (12)
8-10 Rummynose Tetras (28-32)
1 BN Pleco (34/38)
6-8-10 Pygmy Cories (40-42-44/44-46-48)

I've always liked the idea of having cherry barbs with angelfish if you're looking for another suggestion. I think harlequin rasboras would also look grand. Many people say that as long as the angelfish are raised with smaller fish, even neons, they tend to leave them alone once they reach adulthood. Its not a rule set in stone but it seems to work from what I hear.

Sounds like a cool tank If I were you, I would not do pygmy cories with the angels. They will get eaten. I recently transfered my pygmy cories from my betta tank to my tank with keyholes. BAD IDEA!!! The pygmies became lunch and I only have one left. Any fish that go with angels should be at least 2 inches so that they cannot fit into their mouths. That's my advice

I like those choices, except for the flying fox which will stop eating algae as it grows and become hostile towards the other fish.

Also, I would increase the number of Bleeding hearts (lovely tetras BTW!) to at least 6 and get one more bristlenose.

Be aware that if you end up with a m/f pair of angels, you may have to remove the 3rd.
