Angel fish planted biotope. (Work in progress)

[stumanchu]

Hey just though I'd share some pics of my 29g angel fish biotope. I'm planning on adding some wood as soon as I find the right piece, I'm going to add more plants aswell. My Fish stock: 2 marbled angels, 4 coreys, some rasboras. Plant stock: Jungle Val, amazon swords. What play should I put in as ground cover? Also, should I change the stock?

you have a very good start with plants and some nice angels, i would try adding some hardscape like rocks or driftwood along with a little depth such as smaller plants towards the front and larger ones in the back

Working on more hard scape, just have to find the right pieces im planning on adding some kind of ground cover too, just need to find one that is ideal for the look i want thank you for the input!

I especially like the angel with the black 'mask' (bottom fish in the first pic) but wouldn't those be considered 'koi angels'? most marbled types i've seen tend to not have any orange in them, unless I'm mistaken.

stock idea sounds perfect to me. Can't tell in the photo, what rasboras are in there?

Honestly I believe they are marbled/koi mix due to the color but these guys are pretty awesome. And I believe they are harlequin rasboras

hey guys, i have an update on my tank! Jungle val is growing like crazy! i added two Geophagus today. i have a question... should i move my angel fish into the 125g, or the Geos? Let me know what you think?

I think baxter is refering to the red tiger lillys. And the andels look awsome but are koi mix. I have some full koi and you want them with as much orange as posible if you ever look to get any and as little white as you can find. I put a pick up its vad but you can see the colors
