bedazzled Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi, I have just moved my community fish from a 75 litre in to a 200 litre and am wanting to add some more fish. The existing community was: 6 leopard danios 10 neon tetras 1 BN 2 Corys 1 SAE 7 Guppies 3 Balloon Mollies 2 Platys I have added 2 small Angels I would like to also add 1 Betta Blue rams possibly some others too but these ones are what I would like to add next. My questions are.... Is a betta on it's own ok, can I get a male with out any problems? Is 2 blue rams ok, or do I need more? Thanks in advance Any other suggestions gratefully accepted oo0o0o Also, are killies a NO NO in a community tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 1 male fighter o it's own is fine but you could get him some ladie friends if you want also I kept just 2 blue rams and they were fine. I think it depends on the killies if they can go in a community tank but I'm pretty sure Australe golds can go in one but I heard that males nip male guppys long fins so they may nip a male fighters as well. My advice on what else you should put in their are a bigger group of cories and add khulie loaches as they're really cool to watch. Just watch the angels when they get too big as they will start to eat you neons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just a warning if you put in a betta it might end up minus fins.Angels love them.Happened to mine when i put angels in my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzled Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 LOL yeah the angels are going to cause problems I think LOL I have 2 random guppy fry in there and they have already tried to catch them lol If I got the betta a girlfriend or two would it lead to aggression at all? I don't want any one getting their head ripped off Kuhlie loaches are on my wanted list too but not right now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have a male and two females in the same tank.The females have the odd scrape nothing meager.I also have top cover as will as a lot of hidy holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzled Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks mumzy, would the angels also have a go at my guppies tails? They look so pretty LOL hoping I don't have to take them back to the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I will echo the warnings about your Angels. They will show aggression to each other if they don't become a pair. If they do become a pair they will terrorize the entire tank if they spawn. I had a pair in a 225L community and suffered many fatalities. The Angels went from 'peaceful' to nasty aggressive overnight. I would recommend only keeping the Angels with fish of similar or larger size. Or rehoming them entirely.

cichlid7 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 better idea set the 75L tank up for killies and you will have no problems just make sure its got a tight fitting lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzled Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 so it seems that it wasn't a wise decision to get the Angels, They are very small at the mo though so, maybe I can keep them for a while and rehome them when bigger Unfortunately Cichlid7 I can't keep the 75 litre, I have no room in the house for it now that I have he bigger tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollergirl Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Killies will nip fighter fins (in my experience anyway!) although strangely in my case only the females did any nipping. Tank setup looks awesome btw (too lazy to go find other thread and comment hehe :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
