suggestions?

i have angelfish and parrot fish in a tank. is there anything else that would go with them?

What size is the tank? Fancy Plecostmus would fit in nice with what you got and possibly a Raphael catfish.

it is a 33 gallon tank. got a pleco and an irridescent catfish in there. some sort of upside catfish too not sure what it really is though, looks like a loach but is shorter and less of the cylindrical body.. has like a leopard print i think.

Hiya ckwa32, welcome to MFK.
I have not kept parrot fish so I don't know what goes with them, I have kept angels and any similar sized non-aggresive fish tends to work though you have to watch for fin nippers no matter what the breed, even blackskirt tetras can sometimes worry at an angels fins. Clown loaches and african butterflys never caused me problems, nor did danios, cory cats, or small pictus cats.

thanks guppy...

i remember reading that the african butterfly was slightly aggressive, or was it, they only snap at smaller fish?

The ones I have seen were more predatory then aggressive but I have limited experience with them.

 

[ckwa32]

so u think my angelfish and parrots would be in danger from the butterfly?

also how much space does each of these fish need?

and can anyone identify whats the last fish that i listed?

 

[ckwa32]

also when do i start seeing pics on the forums?

I had blood parrotts and they used to chase my hand when I cleaned the tank

 

[ckwa32]

they dont chase my hand when i change the water.
but they are still afraid of my finger.
