  1. Wondering if anyone else has any input..?
  2. Thank you both for the replies. Interestingly, the two blackfin tetras were pretty peaceful; it wasn't until we added 4 more that the shark got aggressive and the angels started hiding more. You've given me points to consider, and I will, thanks again.
  3. We started a new 29g tank a couple months ago. We were novices, so talked to our lfs for advice. Unfortunately, as we've found out, it was very bad advice! We slowly added 2 black skirt tetras, 2 cory catfish, 2 rainbow sharks, 2 angelfish and a few nerites. Come to find out, the tetras and corys need to be in groups of 6 each. The tank is far too small for that many fish. We added 4 more tetras so at least they'd be less stressed as a group, but then our larger rainbow shark started getting very aggressive towards the smaller one. We removed the smaller shark to our 10gal tank and it's doing great, but that night, the shark (or tetras-?) ate one of our angelfish. We had to move the angel into a holding tank for protection for now, but we're not sure what to do. The corys need a bigger group, but we don't have room. The angel needs to go back in at some point, but not get eaten. I'm frustrated that we were told incorrect information to start, or we'd have chosen different fish. Getting a bigger tank rn isn't an option. An aquarium store a bit of a drive from us takes fish...should we take the 6 tetras there and get a couple more appropriate fish? Got a better idea? We still have just the 2 corys needing a school... Thanks
