You're not telling anything about the tank size or what fish you added.

As a guess.. your tank wasn't cycled or not cycled properly and is going trough that process now.

Some angles will get agressive with anyone they think looks at them funny.
Discuss are often more timid and prone to cowering. Keeping them with angels calls, in my opinion, for a huge body of well...

If you do.. here's a suggestion. Round out the tetra school when you find some and just leave it all to grow for a few months.
sooner or later you'll see or read something that strikes you and then...

Not too small though. Remember the rule of thumb about fitting into someone's mouth.
I'd check ember tetra and hatchets as well. Rasboras, T. Espei could work, not too small and mild mannered. Since...

Weird idea but when I look at that pic the only thing that strikes me as being really missing is some height in the decor and plants.

Girl, you are NOT the only one accidently mistreating a betta. You are looking to solve the situation and you've got some expert help here.

Listend to the 10000+ posts people. Don't think we're...

"borneo sucker" is what's known as a hillstream loach. They need cooler and well oxygenated crystal clear water. Not a good idea for a newbie and a new tank.

10 gallon isn't much and platys and...

I'd do nothing for the next week or two.
Neons will establish a rough pecking order but this shouldn't lead to much if any real damage.

I was thinking.. I'm not sure I could stay friends with someone who treats a hobby and animals I'm passionate about in such a manner. Silly perhaps but.. I think this would be a friend I'd stop...

Not saying that isn't so. And in this case OP is looking to correct the mistake to which I can only say :22:

All I'm saying is I'm not laughing and I doubt any of the regulars is.

Exactly! So, interesting project and full potential to make it look nice as well. Winner I'd say

I'd be happy if I could get a second tank in. Very happy. Wife doesn't give me planning permission though.

You've got quite a bit of experience. I think you should not walk away from this challenge and just do this.

And let's face it, breeding GBR doesn't need to happen in a tank with all the charm of...

So you got an intellectually challenged "friend". I'm sorry to hear that.

Research.. vital, half the fun in some cases especially now there's youtube.

No. Owners who are unwilling to do research and just go on store advice is only slightly funny the first time. After the first dozen I'm not laughing. After the first 500 you just shake your head at...

Interesting. Over here fish clubs are struggling to get members younger than 45.

Put it simple to her. Too fast = dead fish

I'm not too convinced about that small stuff in the front middle. Seems it can't make up it's mind if it's going to carpet or not. Other than that, nice job, I like it!thumbs2:

If you're worried about stagnant water.. if a fish can get in there so can you with a piece of hose. Syphon out any muck

Hollow ornaments are great for shrimp though, always a safe place to moult.

Drifting off on a tangent a bit... I remember when I first started keeping fish, half of my friends had a tank as well, even if it was just a simple small tank with three guppies.

These days it...

Only possible cause of concern here would be the gourami. Never kept these so no idea how they'd get along with rams. Apart from that, size and filtration wise there seems to bbe plenty of room

Flow.. looks fine to me. If it doesn't affec the plant growth and the shrimps can swim against it it's perfectly fine.

Desipite the nice growth on the branch I do wonder if this tank is mature...

Try a siesta of 90 minutes on that. Cut down the ferts by 1/3 and see what happens.

Cute little BN. Mrs. Albino doesn't seem to like the camera.

Number of cories also depends a bit on tank dimensions, very tall tanks with little floorspace I'd go for a lower number. And sand of course, they really like that.
