QUESTION: hi
i have 3 moonlight, 2 peal, 4 rainbow fish, 3 clown loach,13 lemon tetra. i was just wondering if there was any other type of fish to go with these. i have a jewel 180. also what is the best tank setup for all the fish i have thanks

ANSWER: Your choice of fish so far is good :)

Keep an eye on the clown loaches, they might outgrow your tank!

I would add a shoal of tetras to your tank such as rummy-noses or cardinals :)

Maybe a shoal of 10 to 15 and that would be you limit


Hope this helps and good luck :)

QUESTION: hi again
what would you say is the best setup as in planted, bogwood or stone. (is it not possible to add angels with  gourami's)

Answer
Hey Anthony :)

I have a mixture, I have plants across the back (to cover my heater)and stones on each side like a cave and driftwood in the middle :)

You can mix and match really but I prefer planted which is in my 25 gallon!  it looks professional and its easier on the eye athan stones, so it is up to you:)

I would add a pair of angels but moonlight gourami are supposed to be docile and placid so it might work :)

Good luck  with the set-up, email me a photo of it when it is finished, I would love to see it. ( jackass_119@hotmail.co.uk )
