Hi, I've only been keeping fish for maybe about a month or so, so far all my fish are alive...In my 46 gallon bow front I have three angels, six rosy finned tetras, six marble hatchets, and two snails. My water is: Ammonia-0, Nitrite-0, Nitrate-10. I have a couple of questions...

1) I want to feed my fish some vegetables, I started out with lettuce and clipped it to the side of the tank with one of those clips from the petshop that looks like a clown fish, but the fish don't seem interested. Do fish not like lettuce? What other vegetables do you recommend?

2) I want some more fish, is that possible? If so, what type of fish? If not, am I overstocked? Thanks

. they won't be for long. your tank has not completed the 'cycle' yet and adding a full component of fish is a recipe for death and disease. read these links.

definitely not. when your tank has finished cycling (zero ammonia, zero nitrite and some level of nitrate which you'll want to keep to ten ppm or less) it's not safe to add more fish.

many fish species of fish appreciate vegetables but yours are not among them.

The only fish you could add would be some bottom feeders, like Cories. The Angelfish are going to take up alot of room when they are full grown.
