Tiger barbs nip fins. Not good tank mates for angels

Hey Ryno

thanks i did notice this, he is a tester i guess, just bought the one to see how he would behave, and he is not behaving the way i had hope. ( i made a typo saying i am looking for more, was meant for the ottos )

Cheers

 

With tiger barbs the more you have the less interested they are in the other fish. But they must never be With slower fish with long fins

 

I am looking through them as i type this...

 

Here are some pics of my tank.

I hope you enjoy them...

 

some more "old ones"

I am loving these Scolare angels so much i am tempted to get another 2...:nuts:

Hope you guys enjoy.

Cheers

 

Thanks. I have had most of the fish in the tank for more than 2 years now..

I still have alot planned for the tank, but it will happen with time..

 

Hi

Nice setup you got there!!

Nice natural looks on that tank!!
+1

all the best

Enjoy!!

 

Coolness.... ;-)

Well done @WhitePhantom

 

What do you feed your plants because they also look good?.

 

That Scolare angels, looking stunning!!!!

 

Thanks for all the awesome comments.
@ Marius b, the natural look is the only look for me. I used to have pressurised C02 on the tank, but i have not re filled the bottle in about 3 months now. I dose excel every 4 to 5 weeks.
The dosing of excel was alot more frequent but the algae just got a little out of control.
@ BugMan thanks alot

 

The tank looks very good. Those angels are lovely.

 

Thanks alot...

Sorry @ Dewald Coetzer, the info of my plant feeding was meant to be aimed at you..

 

So you only use flourish excel .
