thanks for all the tips, may scale back the cories and keep the emeralds since they do get bigger, well higher that cories, at moment the parrots really dont do anything. i do have a dominant one that only shows agression is an alge waffer lands near him and he gurds it. just want another descent size peacful "show" fish to add to the 2x parrots and 2x Angels. also i forgot to add and have a dwarf Gourami, he really gurds the decor so i rarely see him. I heard that gouramis dont get along together but a snakeskin G looks badass. sorry to sound dumb, before this community it was all big fish, i mean they had to be able to live together but not like this
