Well...it is finally time to set up the Octogon tank. The plan for this one are angels...probably four. I might keep some kuhli's for the bottom. What are some other tank buddies I can consider for final stocking?

I wouldn't add angels to this setup at all. True, they prefer a tall tank, but the small footprint of a hex or octagon tank would leave them little horizontal swimming space. Of course, this is JMO, but I'd stick to small schooling fish and a small centerpiece fish, or maybe a pair of dwarf cichlids as your centerpiece like rams or apistogramma. Also, I'd advise you to stock lightly since the small surface area allows for less gas exchange as compared to a conventional rectangular tank. Good luck! :)
