I have a ten gallon with the following:

1x small angel
1x neon tetra -other 1 died during cycle :-(
1X tiger pleco - will be moved once he grows
1x ghost shrimp


I am looking to make 1 or two additions...any ideas?
 
I actually believe the first neon was eaten, he has pieces of fins missing, never actually found him....anyways, i dont want to go and buy more neons if they are going to get eaten...do u think the angel will eat them???
 
Angelfish will eat neons. In fact, I believe they are natural food for angelfish in the wild.

A 10 gallon is too small for a fully grown angelfish. I think the smallest recommended tank for them is a 20 gallon tall since they grow pretty tall. You either have a larger tank you're planning to move the pleco to or will be setting one up, so you can just plan to move the angelfish with him to the larger tank maybe?

I'd get a group of 3-5 cories for that tank, then add more fish once you get the angelfish and pleco moved. Maybe a betta, dwarf gourami, paradise fish or even another school of tetras once they won't be lunch :)
 
I'm just a newb, so I'm not sure about the angel eating your neon, but if you never found him, I would say it's a good possibility. I just suggested the neons because they're small. Maybe someone else could give you better advice. What do you have in your tank, ei: rocks, plants, etc.. You might need something for fish to hide in.
