Goldilocks stocking feedback

[deep]

I'm setting up a 55 gallon tank and want to stock it just right, not too much, not too little. Thinking about a mix of Angelfish, Corydoras, and Tetras. Any feedback on this combo?

That's a solid start. Angelfish can get territorial, so keep an eye on them with the Tetras. Corydoras are chill, but make sure you've got sand or smooth substrate for their barbels. How many of each are you planning?

Yo, Angelfish are dope but they can be divas. Tetras might get nibbled if the Angels get moody. Corys are a safe bet though, just don't skimp on the group size, they like buddies.

A 55 gallon is a good size for this mix. I'd recommend 2 Angelfish, 6 Corydoras, and 10-12 Tetras. Ensure your filtration can handle the bioload, and keep up with weekly water changes.

I agree with Veltor. Angelfish can be tricky with smaller fish. Maybe start with fewer Tetras and see how the Angels behave. Corydoras are a great choice, just avoid sharp gravel.

I'd skip the Tetras. Angels might stress them out. Go for bigger tankmates like Rams or Gouramis instead.

Nah, Tetras can work if you get bigger ones like Black Skirts or Serpae. Just keep the group size up so they feel safe.

I've had success with this combo before. The key is plenty of plants and hiding spots. Also, feed the Angels well so they're less likely to nip at the Tetras.

Spot on advice. Also, consider adding some driftwood for the Corydoras. They love grazing on the biofilm that grows on it.
