Aquarium Miscers

I lost the sub to one of the big discussion threads for miscers with aquariums Fresh and salt.

I got ONE left. A 125 with 2 angelfish and 6 Serpae tetras.

Any suggestions for what else to add?

I’m considering rainbowfish and/or more angelfish next. Am also considering Angelicus loaches.

Add them and they WILL get rid of the rest. I avoid Cichlids.

OP, Are the angel fish aggressive?

I'm a big fan of loaches...especially if you get a big school of Kuhli Loaches. It's so awesome to watch them play and interact.

I had Africans. Mbuna....thought it was going to be awesome. It was boring as fukk.

Do not reccomend. I took the tank down and plan on going reef next.


OP. Get a bunch more angels, and then get a huge school of Corydoras, big school of Galaxy rasboras, a few little gobies.


I had one of these gobies in my last tank before the Mbuna and it was my favorite fish.

It’s a pretty big tank so plenty of room, but no. And I seen angels can even school in a large enough tank.

Not the angels commonly at pet stores. I want Peruvian Altum Angelfish. Ones that get large as discus.
Might just pull the plug and order 6.


I had a 75 with African cichlids before. They are beautiful Mbunas in rock scaped setups. But I don’t want an aggressive tank .

I've never kept them but I will for sure my next freshwater setup. It would be so sweet getting a huge school of like 50 together.

I love the emerald Cory's

The key to having an aesthetic aquarium is a lot of little fish instead of a few big ones.

This WAS my 75 cichlid tank. Nothing special to some but I was going for aesthetic



And you’re right.


Rainbowfish and loaches May be out of angels are going to be my centerpiece fish

But you think for aesthetics I’d need A species only tank with like rummies cardinal s?

This - and fish that frequent each layer - top of the tank, middle, and bottom dwellers (no hom0)

Another cool fish is Clown Killifish.

They only hang out at the top of the tank and they are pretty damn nice looking fish. They stay nice and small like a tetra.

A 125gal is perfect for rainbowfish. I had a 120gal planted tank with 30+ rainbows and I loved it -- great variety of colors and sizes to choose from too. They're super hardy and will eat anything.

Yeah morr angels. And add more tetras to the group if u staying SA theme. I currently keep wild altum angels and some geo****us sveni. Prob should add a school of bottom feeders like corydoras for a clean up crew. I prefer a group or single show piece for the focal point. Then some smaller dither fish to compliment the show fish. And fish that schools in group makes the tank so much aesthetic then a bunch of fish swimming all over the place. Rummynose tetras is the goat schooling fish in my opinion

Love my loaches. If you got a smaller aquarium Zebra loaches are pretty neat.

Dang altums are delicate fish. There's literally only one dude in Europe who has been able to breed them.

How long have you been keeping them and what are they like?
