H'lo there.

I will be getting a +-100L tank to try out breeding angels, hopefully soon.
Now for tank mates , i know its best to keep the pair alone, but i was thinking about bottom feeders. Cories, kuhli loaches and a pleco for example. Would this be fine do you think? The pleco (a leopard sailfin) and the kuhlis would not try eating the eggs?
Also what do you think will be a better option:

kuhlis + the pleco
or
cories + the pleco
.....

Tom

My question is, why not cories/coolies and otos?
Tom

Sabi

Because i have 3 plecos im my 67gal. 2 are still small, still, i wanted to take out a pleco. Also i've not seen many otos here.
Why?

And because you've definitely decided to keep ALGY!!!

Sabi

Ya my parents wont let him go, not that i wont feel bad if i had to let him!
But none of you have said what option you like...

Tom

Since there can't be any otos, I would go with the cories and pleco. It would look really neat to see that.

I like corys and Kuhlis Neither will mess with the eggs or fry.

Thanks for your input Carol and Tom!
Tom- why do you prefer otos to the pleco? cos of the waste?

Tom

They just look better when they school then the plecos do.

The Otos won't come as close to bothering eggs as the Pleco will. I have a Rhino Plec that would always get some of the angel eggs no matter what the angels did. So I moved him out of the angel tank.
