30 Gallon Community Tank

[richard00]

Finally got my 30 gallon looking good. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about what 3-5 inch fish might go well in here.

I have 3 Neon Tetras, 4 Rummynose Tetras, 4 Lamp Eye Tetras, and 1 Green Barred Danio.

A pair of angel fish would look good in there or some type of large Gourami.

I was considering the angel fish, but I was a little worried about them being too aggressive. Do you think they would mix well with my current stock?

Also, does anyone know how ram cichlids react with small fish like these? I've heard that they are fairly peacfull and I really like the way they look.

Thanks

rams would work out nice but there should be a lot of concern if ur going to add a pair of angelfish bcuz they may feast on ur neon tetras but getting the pair of angelfish at a young age will greatly reduce the risk

a word of caution on the angelfish, just putting a male and a female in the tank does not automatically mean that they will pair off. they may NEVER pair off and constantly nip at one another. the only way to know for sure is to buy a breeding pair (can get VERY expensive), or to buy six juvies (same type/color/shape/size) and let them pair off on their own, then separate the pairs into different tanks or return the four you don't want
