thanks evo! hahaha... funny thing is i got 2 angels.. but i realised got two dead neon tetras..

Angels and neons generally do not do well together. Sooner or later the neons will become food.

Amazonian theme with pH 6 thereabout would have some interesting comm

Hatchet fish and danios to occupy the upper region.

Middle region, could use cardinals in 20 pieces school and some bumble bees

Bottom will have lots of corys to choose from.

Throw in some killi like norman lampeyes....

I think anything that fits into the angelfish mouth will be consider as food in the long run. The numbers of my cardinal tetra decrease as my angels grew

For an amazon theme tank I think sticking to fish from the region would look more natural.

thanks bros for the feedback.

just came back from y618 with 5 panda corys. lol. i think i wiped their last panda corys. wonder if any other place for more panda corys.

anw.. shld i remove my angelfish? i think its started nipping my neon tetra and seems like my neon tetra population has gone down significantly.

was wondering whether i shld "replace" the angelfish with a Ram or apistogramma.. hmm. any thoughts?
