OR do I have enough?

see signature....

I would like to have something else in there but not sure what. right now the blk skirt tetras are showing up more than the rest.

Would an angle fish be wrong? That is what I am unsure of, what fish would go with what. So any help would be much appreciated.
 
Man you were quick......

I posted then went to add the signature but no go, hmmmmm

So this is what I have....

55g long - 5 zebra danios, 5 neon tetras, 3 fancy tetras, 2 black mollies, 3 guppies (2f,1m), 3 black skirt tetras and 2 snails.
 
how tall is this "long" tank?

Angel fish need a tall rather than long tank.
 
55's are about 19" high I believe which is fine for angelfish.

Neons may become snacks, it has happened to many so there may be an issue there.

black skirts can be some of the more nippy tetras as well so watch the angelfish's fins so any injuries

otherwise it should be fine. I think guppies shouldnt be a problem but with long fins may be tempting for the angels
 
I have a 55gal that's 12" tall (hospital and show preperation tank) and a 55gal thats 21" tall (angel breeding).

Are you sure they're neons, not cardinals?
 
Sure... that is the norm but lets not rule out a 4" high paddling pool :D :D (jokes)
 
You guys are assume thanks for the responses. I will try to answer the questions as I would like to get a fish that best suits me and my tank.

The tank is 21 inches high.
- If the neons (yes they are neon tetras) are in danger the angels are out.
- Is it neccessary to have 6 blk skirts? Rightnow they are not nippy, they chase each other occasionally but do not see any chewed up fins yet.

I only used angels as an example, are there any others that will go with my tank. Or if necassary so I have room for 3 more bst's and another one or two for a centre piece?

Thnaks for the the responses so far and look forward to hearing more.
