With the contents of my tank now (see my signature) can i get some ghost shrimp?
 
Yeah, they'll be fine with those. You should get a few more cories of the same type though, they'll be much more active & entertaining.
 
Problem i foresee with the tank is that you will wind up missing Neons and Glowlights. Angels just love to eat these guys. :) I had a tank filled with 25 Zebra Danios and they started to disappear until one day I noticed my Angels eating them whole.
Now for your Shrimp, yes, ghost shrimp are fun and cheap to own but they do not last long in a tank. On average 6 months to about a year. The shrimp that tends to work better and become more active is the Amano shrimp. I have had a pair that lasted almost 4-5 years in a tank with Cories, guppies and Bettas.

Yes but the Angel might chase him a bit . But he wont hurt him.
How about some more Corys. :)


I plan on getting some more Cories soon. Wow Flag, you have quite a few fish in your 30gal. How do they all get along?
 
Not to be a downer, but the angels will probably eat the shrimp you put in there, as well as your tetras in due time. How big is the tank?

29 gallon. Then can you give me some suggestions for putting some more colorful fish in it?
 
if you took back the angel i would suggest a gourami for your colorful centerpice. However, wot the angel you might be able to add a pair of swordtails in the 29. also, up that cory school! so fun to watch when theres five of them herding about the tank bottom!!!!
 
could i add another Angel?
 
A 29 gal is way to small to house angels, they get pretty big. I normally keep mine in a 55 when I do have them. I love angels and they do better in pairs. But again a 29 would be way to small for that tank. What may look nicer if you do decide to take him back would be some dwarf Gouramies.
