my new tank setup

i went and bought some angels from a breeder around me and came home with 1 pb clown angel, 2 pb ghost, 1 panda and 1 koi. got home and set this tank up for them.

other inhabitants
5 dwarf pencilfish
3 zebra loaches
2 yoyo loaches
5 albino corys
1 venezeualan orange cory
1 panda cory
1 fire eel
1 wc L204
2 F1 L129
1 wc L199

Very nice setup! Those angels will feel right at home in there.

thanks, thinking about adding a discus or 2

I would only add a group of Discus. 5-6 of them do much better then 1 or 2 (unless they are a pair) They gain strength from numbers and feel much more secure.

ok i will have to see what i can find

Also with the current inhabitants in that tank I would worry a little about the loaches and plecos. trying to suck on the Discus slime coat. Not everyone has an issue with this but has been known to happen. I swear by the time you get done researching about fish like discus you wonder why anyone keeps them at all lol. (my reason is I appear to be a bit crazy)

not crazy i know not happends, my buddy had that happen. but i wont know until i put them in. just gotta figure out which ones i want out of the thousands of different ones

O believe me I know that can be hard. What I ended up doing is finding a local breeder and went and saw his whole setup and he gave me a great deal on the fish. If you buy locally you know they are likely raised in similar water conditions. You can ask to see them eat and watch them for a bit, see the parents ect.
As far as variety goes I checked out Hans and let me just say he has some fish that are truly worthy of the price tag. The trick is not to buy too cheap and get dud discus (breeder culls ect) then you think it is all your fault for them not making it or being stunted. While more expensive does not always mean quality if you know what to look for you will also know weather the fish is worth the price. A quality fish is always important but when a tetra dies you are likely not out $20-$100.

yea i know a couple around here, i always try to buy from a local breeder first

Nice setup,enough space for fishes and plants.

nice really nice

You got a really nice selection there. I especially like the clown and ghosts. I've heard of panda angels before & I don't understand why they are called that. Aren't they unexpressed koi? I dunno??? Anyway, nice set up too!

It's just a koi that's just black and white

Nice tank Justin!

thanks bud

Very NICE. ...and beautiful angels.

What size is your tank? Its looks great!!

Thanks guys, its a 60.

nice setup! are your rocks secured together by aq glue? or just well balanced?

No glue just balanced good. I tried to match the pcs together so the the grooves helped hold them together

Any pics of the fire eel ? I was looking to get one of them but could never really find any and lost interest haha.

ill try hes hard to find most of the time. when i feed him ill try to snap a pic

LQQKING GOOD!!!!!

nice set up,
