ok I am getting a tank anywhere from 45 to 65 gallons for Christmas
I am going to make it a south American tank
Could all these fish coexist?
4 kribensis
6 angelfish
(if the angels breed I will be removing the other 4)
6 cardinal tetras
6 bleeding heart tetras
4 corydoras
2 dwarf bristlenose plecs
Wud these work?
Will a penguin 350, and 2 powerful airstones be adequate aeration?
Thx for any help available:headbang2
 
yep i agree. And make sure to get a tall tank, like a hexagon for those angels, and do it heavily planted with some amazon swords
 
No an expert, but im pretty sure your going to need a bigger tank for 30 fish.. cause they get over 2 inches each and the rule 1in per gallon mean the fishes total cubic area so i think you need a bigger tank for those fish..
 
ooooooooooooo my fault on the kribs!!!
I just always put them in the same category as rams so I thought they were SA
I like kribs way better then rams tho....... So can I still use em?
And the tetras produce barely any waste
The angels are medium waste producers
Kribs idk I've never kept them b4 ((would they thrive in a very low PH water?)

angelfish will probably try and eat tetras as they get larger...

Will kribs do well in 6.0 PH water?

I am going 2 look into keeping angels and kribs then!!!!
