Back at the beginning of the year I upgraded my 55G to a 125G tank, at the time I had wanted to simply add a bunch of angels to the tank along with my existing stock and call it a day. A few things happened along the way and now I only have 1 angel, along with a bunch of other fish.
However, lately I have been wondering if I should have kept with my original plan of about a dozen angels. At the moment in the tank I have:
1 x angel
11 x australian rainbows
7 x apisto
8-10 x coral red pencil fish
a handful of candy cane tetras
a bunch of corys
I am wondering whether to swap out the rainbows for between 9-11 more angelfish. My problem is though that the rainbows are really awesome fish, providing a lot of color and activity to the tank. They are also one of the few things I have ever had spawn (although no eggs, much less fry made it in a community tank!!) But, I know if I keep them then realistically I can't add more angels.
So, what would you do? Rehome the rainbows and go with what you originally wanted? or stick with what you have? The tank is fairly heavily planted, with plenty of filtration (2 x canisters, but I also have a sponge filter I could run if I needed).
Thanks.
