RE: tank ideas
Well, if cacatoos are bottom-dwellers, rams are somewhat higher, like
mid-bottom... I have them with apistos in two levels - flower pot for
apisto's cave. On the top of the flower pot - flower pot saucer for rams.
Apistos defend the bottom 3-4 inches, rams - next 3-4 inches. Sometimes they
nested on the top of each other to have babies at the same time - no
fighting, no biting...
Hatchet fish and pencilfish are good... How about their breeding habits? I
never thought of angels as a treat for other fish - they seem so slow.
Aren't tetras speedy enough to avoid angels?
Will neons eat apisto's fry? What about hatchets or pencils? Are they on
different enough levels?
Thanks
Lilia

Lilia,
It seems you will be having fun with this size tank. First, Rams are
bottom
dwellers. Besides hatchetfish, I'd suggest pencilfish or
pyrrhulinids for the
upper level of you tank. Mid level residents can be most of the more
commonly
seen tetras: black neons, rummynoses, serpae, etc., etc. Just
remember, large
angels eat small tetras.
