Howdy all!! I am Jen, this is my first post as I just discovered this AWESOME SITE last night!! woo hoo!!
Anyhow, here is my question or rather questions:
I have not purchased my tank or anything yet.
I have decided on a freshwater tank with minimal live plants, plenty of "holey" rocks for fishies seeking shelter. I purchased three books about freshwater tropical fish tanks and none were too informative about which fish could live peacefully with one another.
I really like Pterophyllum scalare, Angelfish and also would like to have tiger barbs. I have read in one book that this pairing will have detrimental effects on my tank since Tiger barbs will most likely nip the fins of the angels. I also read that smaller fish can be eaten by the angels..
I am requesting the advice of anyone who has experience with Angels - What would be the best species to place in a tank with Angels? How many Angels should I get? Is a 20G tank *horizontal* a suitable tank size for Angels?
I appreciate all feedback.
Thank you.
