I have someone coming over today that is interested in buying a lot of my no longer needed decorations/equipment and a couple of fish I'm trying to rehome. 37G should be reduced to:

Angel
6 Harlequin Rasboras
7 Kuhli Loaches
BN Pleco

Could I fit in one or two more Angels? Would I have breeding/aggression problems in the future?

I originally was going to add a pair of GBR and call it a day, but I haven't had luck with GBRs (5 deaths) and they aren't easy to find where I live.

So could I add one Angel? two? If I moved the Rasboras then what could I fit?

Consider the loaches and pleco unmovable. I like em too much and I'm already selling the Clown Pleco.

EDIT: This is a 37g tall.
30 1/4 x12 1/2 x22 3/4

Standard, oceanic, or column?

If anything only one more angel in the long run.

Column? I posted the dimensions in the first post.

and yes, I'm talking about in the long run. I don't want to add 5 and then have to be rehoming them or something like that.

I didn't see the dimensions when I started typing...

A 30x12x22 is a standard 37.

Then stick to the one.

Angels are only sexable during breeding so you would need a pair in the first place. Problem is you can't count on a pair forming by just adding a single one a hoping that they are a) the opposite sex and b) compatible.

Gotcha. I guess I'll look into Bolivian Rams, or try GBRs. I really wish my fav LFS would get them in. All the other GBR I've gotten have been at different stores.
