4 Quick Aquarium Questions

[chinnp]

I just finished moving and moved my tanks as well. Fortunately, the only loss was a single danio. Now that I'm in the process of restocking my tanks, I have 4 questions.

1. Tank 1 is a 55 gallon which currently houses a variety of tetras, 3-4 cory cats and 2 upside down cats. Purpose of the tank is to show the variety that's found in the tetra species. I've got black skirts, glo-lights, black neons and buenos aires right now. Thinking of adding Congo tetras. Will I run into compatibility problems if I add 4-5 of them?

2.Tank 2 is 29 gallon and currently houses a single angel fish. If I move the upside down cats there and add 3-4 dwarf rainbow fish will I run into compatibility issues or any other issues?

3. If I decide to turn the 29 into a breeding tank instead of going with the setup from question 2, how hard is it to get a pair of angels to breed? Would I be able to keep two pairs of angels in the tank if I'm not concerned about breeding or would the angel who's currently in there not like that arrangement?

4. If I am sucessful at breeding the angels, what's a good going price per fish for the babies?

there should be no problems with congo tetras.

I know angels can be agressive at times but I don't see any problems with adding rainbows.

I know nothing about fish breeding so sorry I can't help there

What I'm wondering is if they'd be aggressive towards any new angels I added. Would they accept them as tankmates or see them as invaders who must be driven off?

Is your angelfish male or female?

Assuming its male:
Angels are somewhat territorial,especially males, so the only real problem would be adding another male.

I've heard plenty of people say that a 29 gallon is large enough for a pair of anglefish. But I'm not sure if it's large enough for 2 males who both need separate territories. Perhaps someone who has had experience with this particular situation will chime in.

I honestly have no idea if it's a male or a female. I've added other angelfish in the past when he was in my 55 gallon and he/she/it did fine. The other fish seemed to eventually die for some reason.
