I have a 60 gallon aquarium cycling that i plan to make an angelfish tank out of and i have a few questions about stocking. I am planning to have 2-4 angelfish in this tank with more small schooling fish. I plan for the angels to be the main centerpiece with many other schooling fish. Also, i would like to have fish for the top middle and bottom, such as hatchetfish, angels, and otos, respectively. I have a few questions about this.
1.) With 2-4 angels how large/small should my school of tetras be?
2.) Can i put oto's with my angels?
3.) Can i put hatchetfish in with my angels? (with a lid of course)
4.) Will different species of tetras school together? Such as glowlights and cardinals, cause that would be awesome
5.) Are cories a better alternative to oto's? (maybe even both?)
6.) If there are many types of fish in the tank will i have lots of difficulty in feeding the more timid fish?
7.) Are there any more medium sized fish that can be kept with angels? I i read somewhere that ram cichlids are, but theres always contradicting accounts of it happening.
8.) Is having such a varied aquarium discouraged?
I am not new to fish but i am not an expert either. I have kept tropical fish in the past, but i have never attempted to keep such a varied aquarium. My main worry isn't that the angels will eat the smaller fish(i know they will) but that some of the fish are too small to co-exist with the angels. I'm not really aware of the size of fish that angels can fit into their mouths.Your advice is appreciated
