New Aquarium

**worm** · 03-13-2007, 05:14 PM

I have set up a new Aquarium (10 Gal) for the first time. I would like to keep angel fish in it. Any reccomendations on what fish I should start the aquarium with to prepare it?

none, do a fishless cycle.

fishless cycle all the way. see the free aquarium e-book in the left margin of the site

It has been running with live plants for a day. The guide reccomeds cycling fish, Zebra Danios. Will they get along with the Angel Fish; or is there a better choice?

Unless you get a really small angel, angels need 15-20 gallons per fish, and a high tank, because they grow more up then out.

That helps, I will do my homework on Angel fish. If the tank is not big enough I will choose a smaller fish. They just need to look cool for my kids. Any suggestions.

I would recommend some guppies or platies. Fun bunch that are always moving around and you can keep them in a 10g tank. Note that they breed easily, so you need to keep that and the tank capacity in mind before mixing sexes
