New Aquarium Stocking Suggestions

Since no ones mentioned it, wouldnt there be a chance the Angels (depending on type) would eat the tetras???

I know my yellow lab chiclid will happily swallow any i place in the tank for my eels...

I think cardinals are big enough to avoid that fate.

I guess the size of the tetras vs angels the OP gets will also play a big part...

But just thought i would throw it out there anyways...

It's definitely something to be aware of though, angels can be aggressive

I've had Angels with guppies and have had no issues.

What are the dimensions of this tank?

Some laetacara species would do well in that tank. They're peaceful, stay small, are beautiful and are a little less common.

Thanks I've never heard of these. I will search them right now.

Assuming you don't already own those fish, drop one oscar and the red terror and you should be okay long term, unless those JDs decide to pair up. I'd be careful with larger cichlid pairs in a relatively small footprint.

Yeah my plan atm is to start another new tank 120+ for the two oscars and then add some fish in there with them. Not too many of course.

I've recently got into the fish hobby. Lol so there are a ton of fish that I never have owned.
I had to order the fish due to not having any local pet stores other then petsmart and petco. So they should be here not this wen but next wen. I'm also waiting for the tank to cycle at the moment. You have any tips for doing fishless cycles by chance?

The exact dimensions I don't recall off hand. But it is a 4' tank.

Add ammonia daily (dr. Tims) until it reaches 2ppm. Once the bacteria can convert 2ppm of ammonia completely to nitrate the tank is cycled.

Ok will do. It seems to be going well ATM. I do have a 2nd external canister filter on a tank I might put on it if its not near the cycle by this Thur. I have some fish coming in this wen and can't afford to not have it cycled.
