hello there. i'm looking for new tankmates for my fish, and would like some
advice on what to get. i have two dominant angels, a clown loach, 2 algae
eaters, and 3 tetras (that are getting picked off 1 by 1 think). tank size is
29 gal. i'd like something that swims around the middle of the tank. tia!

I have been keeping a pair of angels with clown loaches and emporer and
neon tetras for years without problem. Note that tetras live in shoals,
5-6 of each species would be the minimum for them to feel well.

Once I also added half a dozend ghost shrimps, which were realy nice but
met sticky ends one by one over a periode of a month or so. Not sure
whether the angels or the loaches were the culprits though.

What is your tank size?
