ok. 41 G and 29 G.

here's what i HAVE currently in the 29 and will be keeping.

4 Harlequin Rasboras.
1 Glowlite Tetra.
1 Pepper Cory.
3 Ghost Shrimp.

the 41 G is cycling. pool filter sand substrate.

I'll give you my ideas, and see where you guys run with them.

29G
5 Harlequins.
4 Glowlites.
3 Pepper Cories.
1 Sparkling Gourami.
2 Otos.
5 Ghost Shrimp.

41G
3 GBR. 2 Female, 1 Male.
3 Angels.
1 Pearl Gourami.
4 Otos.
10 Cherry Red Shrimp.

Both tanks will have cured driftwood and a decent array of plants.

personally i would just go with EITHER the cories or the otos, and then get three of whichever you choose. that way you can get 6 harlequins, 6 glowlights, 3 cories/otos, one sparkling gourami, and then the ghost shrimp and you'd be pretty fully stocked

for this, you'll probably only want 2 GBRs, and you'll definitely only want 2 angels. that way you can have pairs. with the angels, if two start spawning the third will probably get killed. also, i would get either 3 or 5 otos, for some reason they prefer being in odd numbered groups

well...how will i know on the angels which is which? there any secrets?

i've kept them before, but just got lucky that 2 of them paired.

agabr123

generally you'll have to either buy a proven breeding pair (which can get expensive), or you have to buy six juvenile angels, and wait for a pair to emerge from the six.

the only way to be 100% sure of the sex is to watch them during spawning

yeah. that's what i did last time. but what the heck am i gonna do with the other 4 angels?

agabr123

buy new tanks?

my MTS hit me like a train. i was ok with my 29 gal. got a stand for it for valentine's day. i already have 3 tanks back in the house. i'd getif i brought anymore in.

and i thought otos did algae. and corys did scavenger work.

lol, then your other options are return or sell them
