i have a 30 gallon hex that is currently cycling.
when its finished id like to put in a breeding pair of angels.
i would also add in some cories and a school or two of tetras.
i was thinking bandit cories and featherfin and rummynose tetras.
would any of these work?
would there be room for a dwarf gourami as well, and would it work with the rest of the fish?
thanks

I would do a bit more research on breeding angels before going ahead with the plan. Pay special attention to how many eggs they tend to lay :-0

If you really want to breed angels put nothing but your breeding pairs in the tank.one pair to a 30gl. The fish that are large enough and hardy enough to stand being in a breeder tank of angels will eat both egg and fry and could badly hurt your breeders

Or if you want the longer method is to raise a group of angels from young.But take around a year if you are lucky for them to spawn.Anyways i agree with what McLendon said that the fishes could hurt the breeders as they tend to eat the eggs if they feel the site isn't safe.
