65 Gallon Tank Stocking ideas for 65 gallon tall

[opinewv]

I have a blue angelfish, a pearl gourami, a kribensis, 10 red-eyed tretras and 4 corydoras in the 65 gallon tall tank now. Each Angel I have added has killed the existing Angel. The kribensis killed its mate. What kind Is fish would be compatible to the existing mix? Maybe add some color?

Sound like you need more durable fish. Maybe add a group of 5 Denison Barbs & 4 or 5 YoYo Loaches. I keep both species & really like them.

OP mentions its a 65 gallon tall tank.
(36 x 18 x 24 inches/ 91 x 45 x 60 cm)

Is that the standard dimensions or something else?, because those dension barbs might not like having less length to the tank.

Of course the longer the tank the better when keeping schooling fish.
I have a 65 gallon tall that has been up & running 25 years. I've successfully kept no telling how many Tetras & Barbs in it, Lol. The 65 tall has a boxy shape as compared to the 65 long, which allows more swimming area front to back rather than end to end.
Although on line information suggests Denison Barbs top out at six inches, it's been my experience that four inches is more likely and a five incher would be exceptional.

Didnt really know the diamensions of a tall vs long because here in Australia we don't use gallon sized tanks so that tall part confused me. Thanks for the info

Would add more cories

You could try angelfish again, if you start with small juveniles they might work out. No guarantees though! Otherwise I agree that more cories would be good. You could also increase the group of tetras.
