yar guys i agree the flow rate too high.. i made some adjustments to the direction of the power head.. now they are swimming fine..
the angels are 2.5 inch now counting tail extensions.. when they get to a larger size i'll shift them to the 3 ft tank..

planning to buy another 6 ft to move my oscar and pb to.. my house will become an aquarium soon=)

Besides everything else I have to ask, where are the plants?

bro rock, i read a guide on loaches and apparently they will destroy planted tanks very rapidly so i decided against a planted tank.. based on your experience, what plants in ur opinion are recommended for this tank? The tank far away from the window and using aquarium lighting

Cheers bro!

They can have the habit or notoriety of uprooting plants. I don't know but perhaps plants like ferns, nanas that are tied onto wood/rocks can work.

Maybe even riccia and moss if you want to try. But its just mainly that this is the planted section and its funny with no plants at all.
