Hey all, just a quick question regarding stocking my tank.

It's a 60 gallon, 3' long 18" tall, not sure how deep since I can't find my measuring tape!

Currently there are 3 angels in there, each one is bigger than the other but the biggest is still quite small, and a 5" or so BGK that's always lying down behind his castle :irked: I'm looking to bring more movement and life to the tank. Ideally I'd love some smaller fish I can buy in groups for a good price. Obviously no tetras since they'll end up being food for my BGK when he gets bigger, but I'm at a loss on what I can add to it that won't cause issues for the fish already in there, and I'm wondering at what point the tank becomes 'overstocked'.

Thanks.
 
I'd avoid mollies and loaches, because too many carry ich. bgks catch it easily and are harder to treat. mollies do best with some salt too.
google tetra fish photos. then use the pics to get names of kinds you like. go bigger than neons. tetras usually sell in groups of 6.
 
Yeah I need to try the quarantining thing more. So mollies are not out then? If not mollies then what would you guys suggest? No bottom-feeders since I don't want my BGK to have any competition or disturbances.
 
just because mollies are more susceptible, some stressers can bring it on later too. especially if no salt in tank, which isn't good for the ghost.
 
aclockwork, check your PMs later.
