[GS1981]

I'm stocking out my Empty 260L (70USG) (6 year Mature Fluval 305 external filter), I have kept Large CA and SA Cichlids and Marine tanks for the last 10 years and not done a community for a long time

So far I have..

2 x 3.5" Wild Type Angel Fish
2 x 2" Bolivian Rams

I'm looking to add...

12+ x Tetras (which type?)
6 x Corydoras (which type?)
2 x Bristlenose Plecs

going to add these plants

Cabomba
Giant Valis
Amazon Swords
Java Fern
Java Moss
Anubuis

5 decent sized pieces of of bogwood.
Pebbles

Also i am used to doing 50% weekly waterchanges when i had my 8" Flowerhorn in this tank, shall i cut them back to 30%ish?

Lemon tetras would work well. They look a little bland in the LFS but w/ good water quality they get a bright yellow color. Any kind of cory will be fine, I'm a fan of the regular emerald greens.

Thanks i have pretty much narrowed it down to Lemon Tetras, Rummynose Tetras and Emperors, not sure which to buy yet, was thinking about getting Sterbai Corys

Like cardinal tetras and sterbai corys

Does it have to be tetras? Harlequins look good in a nice size shoal. I never had any luck with 2 angels together. Always ended up with 1.

Serapes, bleeding hearts, and congo tetras are my favorites. Whatever tetras you choose, just make sure they are a decent size or they will become lunch for your angelfish.

I like my glass Bloodfin Tetras. Transparent with bright red tails and very long anal fins. And they school nicely.

All tetars mentioned would do well - I've heard from a few posters on here that adult angels will eat cardinal tetras, but I've never had it happen to me.

+1 on getting more angels. Unless you have a m/f pair, one will likely get bullied. 4-5 as a minimum. Are they wild caught or just wild types? IME wild caught angels are much more territorial.

I like x-ray tetras or diamond tetras.

I have about 20-25 Serape Tetras with my Wild Angelfish. Sterbai corys are nice I'm keeping a group of 12 Emerald Corys (Brochis splendens) in with them also. Unless you have a breeding pair 5 would be a better number, but they grow fairly large. I have a group of 8 Rio Negro P. Scalare in a 225.
