| Thanks for the comments. The cherry barbs are much less shy now and are coming out of the plants. So here's another pic. Two questions I have though 1. Is it normal for the male to constantly chase the female? 2. Would a single angel fish do well in this tank? Last edited by geoff; 04-15-2003 at 04:14 PM. |

| It looks a bit sparse right now, but once it grows in a bit it should be great. As for an angel, (and I have little experience with them, but I've been looking into getting some) The height should be fine, but it seems like there must might not be enough room for them in the long run. They do get reasonably big eventually.

| Thanks Sinaster. Yes, a background is on the list of things to get. I'm really happy with the hagen kit. It really is just the same as diy, but it looks a lot better. Plus the bubble ladder that comes with it is pretty effective. All of the plants in this tank pearl like crazy. |

| I wouldn't recommend an angel to your tank either. I've kept them before and they grow large and very fast. And you have to worry about agression towards small fish, especially in a small tank. Last edited by Cyberfish; 04-16-2003 at 05:21 AM. |

| I found that one male and 3 female cherry barbs make a great combonation I had bought 3 juvenile barbs, (they haddent shown their colors yet) and ended up with 3 females, so I went out and bough a male, he doesnt chase the females around all the time, he is sort of an outcast, but he will still chase the females around (not constantly) You may want to get a few more females as to distribute the male among the females instead of stressing out one poor fish.
