I do tend toward more the discus/angel body type for fish, at least in what I find attractive. I probably should have went ahead and gotten the 40 gallon tank the other day when they were on sale for a dollar a gallon... it didn't include the lid for that price though, and the lid was another $30! Then I'd have to get a bigger filter and bigger heater and the original idea of a small tank just for the hell of it begins to wane towards the serious hobbyist tank. LOL

My ex has a 65 gallon tank that he likes to put big ugly fish into, I think he has an arowana right now.

Angel fish can be pretty aggressive. My mom used to breed them.

I know, my blue molly is still traumatized and hiding in the plants even though the angel died a few days ago. The angel is how we ended up with 3 tank setups actually, he killed a golden angel, and a couple gouramis that were pretty mean too. The Molly was the only one to survive in that tank, we took the male betta out and put him in a seperate tank, and then the glowfish were being mean to the female betta...

Basically I didn't do enough research into how many of each species I should have to keep them from freaking out on one another. I still need to get three more glowfish to calm them down so they can school.

Who knows, maybe I'll go the cheap way out and just get some mid-range tetras of varied types.

Awesome info guys. Does anyone have any good website/forums they use for fish keeping? I'd like some food resources.
