Help Me with an Angelfish Tank

[ddavila06]

crypts did really well when i had an almost no light set up. crypt wentii is sold everywhere, and you can feed it some of the plant tablets to help out once in a while

We have a 45 gal tall with Angels and Discus, they love it. We've had trouble growing foreground plants but we have been succesful with cripts and we use lotus for shade and driftwood in different positions. Is it there a chance that you can replace the original bulbs to get more watts? this would help.

I can't replace originals, but I could add another fixture to the top -- just hang it over the breach that the top makes. The filter cover comes off and I can slide it back to make room for another light over the top. I'm really not inclined to do it, but I could.....

I'm thinking crypts, anubias, maybe try some val. I have anacharis under those double bulbs and it grows believe it or not.... It doesn't grow as fast as in the pond (where it grows an inch a day in the summer!), but it grows.

Sherry, did you get your tank set up yet? I'm curious to see it, since I've recently becan stocking angels from some very good sources. They complement plantd tanks a lot.

[sherrymitchell]

Not yet Rico. Maybe I'll get it set up in the next month or so....

[ricoishere]

Cool. I received an order last week. The breeder sent me extra, and I think I might hve too many. I can give you a couple to add to your stock.

[sherrymitchell]

A couple of angelfish?

[ricoishere]

Sure. A couple silver pearlscale w/ albino gene. I haven't sexed them yet, but once I do I can give you one male and one fem. They might start spawning in a couple months!
