Currently having a water haze problem, but I'm just curious as to what fish YOU would add to this tank?
Once I resolve my problem, I intend to add a fish or 2....or 3
What fish would "round out" the various types of fish, to where they would be most compatible, and less aggressive?
Here's what I have in my 36 gallon bow tank now:
2 Angels
2 Geos
2 Albinos
1 Shark Cat
1 Pleco
Should I get another Geo or Angel..or 2?
I ask because my fish seem a bit aggressive lately, and was wondering if having "threes or fours" instead of pairs would make a difference.

Is this a new tank?

Sorry, I should have myself clear.
The tank is about 5 months, but recently moved things around a bit. That would be the aggressive issue.
The haziness is a bit of a mystery right now.
Here's my other thread, is pretty much describes my situation, and setup.

Well, personally, i would like to see a schooling fish in there. I know they aren't everyone's cup-o-tea, but i think they do a good job accenting your 'centerpeice' fish, which would be a angels and geos.
Right now, your angels and geos are the only 'upper dwelling' fish, with the rest being basically bottom feeders.
Albino cories like to be in groups, so many get a few more of those.
Dither fish would help curb any aggression in your tank. Danios are good at this, and most tetras as well. Maybe getting a group of 6 or 7 would be nice.
You said that your angels have been fighting.... they might have paired up or you could have ended up with two males. I would try and maybe exchange one for a female if fighting is an issue. For now then i wouldn't add any more. Maybe try one or two more geos but that i'm not sure about.
I would second getting a nice dither fish/schooling fish. Some silver tip tetras or danios would be really nice. And adding a couple of cories to the albinos would be nice as well. Those angels will get pretty big and I wouldn't want more than 2 in that size of tank.
