the only thing is that they only seem to sell small angelfish where I live so I wouldnt be able to sex them 100%MattS99 said:I would get an even number of angels to curb their aggression.
I have a good LFS and a couple chain petstores around, if I got a pair wouldnt breeding cause aggression? and I wouldnt know what to do with the babiesMattS99 said:Do you have a good LFS, or a chain like PetCo or PetSmart?
Would you have any suggestions for a centerpiece fish?MattS99 said:Breeding probably would, I assume. If you're so worried about angels, why not just get something else?
So if I were to get a single angelfish he/she would be fine with the rest of the fish in the community?clk89 said:Angel fish can do perfectly fine without another angel fish. In fact a pair of angelfish can at times be aggressive in a community tank due to breeding.
If the angel thinks it can eat something, it will try to.Ruby_house said:So if I were to get a single angelfish he/she would be fine with the rest of the fish in the community?
but pretty much all the fish in the tank will be around 2 inches would that still cause a problem?MattS99 said:If the angel thinks it can eat something, it will try to.
yeah I'm gonna be keeping the shrimp in the smaller tank, would you have any recomendations to what I could add to the stocking I listed?Anders247 said:The stock is fine, but I'm pretty sure the shrimp will be eaten. Plus, you can fit more than what you have listed.
Anders will have to check me on this, but maybe a few platys? Could do all male if you don't want to deal with fry. Peaceful, easy to take care of, big enough that an angel shouldn't mess with it.Ruby_house said:yeah I'm gonna be keeping the shrimp in the smaller tank, would you have any recomendations to what I could add to the stocking I listed?
if I do add male platies how many do you think I could add 3-4?MattS99 said:Anders will have to check me on this, but maybe a few platys? Could do all male if you don't want to deal with fry. Peaceful, easy to take care of, big enough that an angel shouldn't mess with it.
I've found with all male livebearers, you're more successful and less aggressive with even numbers. Not to be cocky, but I do consider myself a bit of an expert on livebearers, I've had more of them than anything else.Ruby_house said:if I do add male platies how many do you think I could add 3-4?
I think they're colourful and cute but if the platies end up being mixed at the store is there an easy way to sex them?MattS99 said:I've found with all male livebearers, you're more successful and less aggressive with even numbers.

Look at the analfin. If it's more rounded, it's female. Pointier, it's a male. Just google it, there's some great examples.Ruby_house said:I think they're colourful and cute but if the platies end up being mixed at the store is there an easy way to sex them?
I went to go check and its pretty obvious so I shouldnt have too much trouble with that just to make sure I should go with 4? could I do 6 or would that be pushing it?MattS99 said:Look at the analfin.

4 at most.Ruby_house said:I went to go check and its pretty obvious so I shouldnt have too much trouble with that just to make sure I should go with 4? could I do 6 or would that be pushing it?
