Slipshodman 223 Report post Posted November 13 Hey Just after opinions I have a 6x2x2 currently housing 3 larger Severums (size of your hand being the largest) I have 9 small angel fish I want to add to the tank (they are about 50c sized bodies) the only other thing in the tank is a large pleco and driftwood I have an FX6 and an internal filter (3000 lph) running so the water flow is reasonably high Just after any ideas/thoughts of things to consider before I put the Angels in Cheers Edit: Also what cheap dither fish may suit ... south American (not from Asia like a danio), I want to try and keep it semi themed to the Amazon (cheapies so I can get a heap) something that would school would be good Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnbetta 389 Report post Posted November 13 i would grow the angels up a bit first other wise the sevs may attack them but apart from that it will work out 1 Slipshodman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdj5 489 Report post Posted November 13 If you are going to add the angels at that size I would take the Severums out and change the tank around and put the angels in first and put the Severums in about 2 hours later 2 johnbetta and Slipshodman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFF 54 Report post Posted November 13 Agree with both the previous comments. In terms of other fish to add - I like the Rainbow Cichlids (Herotilapia multispinosa) I have with my severums. They stay small, nice colour, and they sort of school. Otherwise perhaps one of the larger tetras, like Colombian? 2 Slipshodman and johnbetta reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slipshodman 223 Report post Posted yesterday at 12:49 AM Minor update Got hold of about 40 platties , (a week in quarantine) and moved the decor around in the tank Added the platties hoping to take the focus of the severums, then half hour later added the angels, its been a few days and ,... All peaceful at the moment , the platties are totally expendable but it seems everyone has become accustom to their new world ..... so far Thanks for all the tips/ideas 2 1 JB, MFF and johnbetta reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
