angels

[loach43]

Please inform if the rams & angels get along. Guessing that they'll be fine if your angels are in the common domain. I don't trust too many other tank mates with veil angels. Some of those have fins so enticing that I want to nip at them myself.

More likely to have probs with the rams quarreling amongst each other. I'll never get a reverse trio of those again, no matter how big their tank is! If I ever get rams again it's gonna be one male and a harem of females.
Post pics if you can. Sounds like a cool combination.
Good luck

If you want to condition them for growth and breeding condition try live brine and mysis shrimp, minced eartworm, and black or tubifex worms, if you want them back on pellets you will need to get them hungry first, try a few days of no food.

only reason i bought the pellets was for color enhancment should i stop feeding the frozen? i got all frozen cause its alot cheaper and i can stock up on it what are mysis shrimp and the elodea? i do want them to grow and breed

I don't care for frozen brine shrimp because when it thaws it is pretty much just juice and shells, the other frozen foods are okay, I just liked live food myself. A variety is good and if they eat the pellets so much the better.
Mysis shrimp, or mysids, are also called opposum shrimp, they can be cultured at home. Here is a link for more info. http://www.syngnathid.org/articles/mysisCulturing.html
Elodea is a fast growing plant, it has been banned in some places because it is such an exuberant growth. It gives the fish cover and something to nibble on, it also locks up nitrates as it grows making your water quality more stable. When you trim it back and discard the excess you are exporting nitrates from the tank. There are a couple varieties, I think that the Egeria densa is best for tropical tanks, it is also known as anacharis.
