So I have a 20 gal non planted. It currently only has 1 marbled Angelfish in it. I know the fish is to big for the 20 but I was given advice from a newb emp at the local fish store. After talking to one of the guys I trust there, he said I should move it to my 29 gal planted tank. I tried to convince my 6 year old but I’m losing this battle… so for now I’m leaving it in the 20 gal but need ideas on to what I can put with it?
this is what I found on the site for the local aquarium store.
Any insight?
Barbs: Cherry Barb, Rosy Barb, Gold Barb, best in groups of 5 or more. Avoid Tiger barbs as they may
nip the angels fins.
Rasboras: Harlequin Rasbora, Brilliant Rasbora, Scissortail Rasboras, buy in groups
Livebearers: Moons, Swordtails, buy 3 or more.
Tetras: Some of the more active Tetras mix well: Black Tetra, Bleeding Heart Tetra, Congo Tetra, Emperor Tetra, Serpae Tetra. Avoid small tetras such as Neons. Buy in groups
Danios: Giant Danio, Gold Danio, Pearl Danio, Zebra Danio, Glo Danios, buy in groups
Gouramis: Blue Gouramis, Gold Gouramis, Moonlight Gouramis, Kissing Gouramis , Pearl Gouramis, Platinum Gouramis, they should be of similar size to the Angelfish.
Eels, Knifefish, Elephant Nose: These can add an interesting addition. Buy as singles and provide hiding spots on bottom. African Knife, Black Ghost Knife, Fire Eel, Spiny Eel, Tire Track Eel, Elephant Nose. Loach: This will add some excitement to the bottom. Small Clown Loach, Kuhli Loach, Weather Loach, most of the many Botia varieties.
Catfish: Most catfish including corydoras, plecostomus, synodontis
Sharks: Red Tail Shark, Red Rainbow Shark, Tri Color Shark, Roseline Shark.
