So I posted on the Corydoras thread about ripping apart my 75g and putting in play sand for my cory's. The tank cleared up within a couple of hours and here's a few pics of it. I was supposed to have 6 angelfish in here, but one of them had to be pulled because it's going after every other fish in my tank, even went after the corys. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that one yet. Anyway, as of now I have 5 angelfish, 6 Sterbai Cory's and "Larry" my L134 who will be going in with here once he's done in qt. I couldn't get any pics of the cory's, there were all hiding at the moment.

Nice angels. My cabomba didn't last long with plecs so had to give in and remove it. Do your angels eat your plants? I know nothing about L134's but nice looking, cute. Can't see that one doing much damage to your setup.

excellent tank and set up. I am sure your L134 will love it once he goes in there. good on you :clap: . The angel that was chasing everything, I presume was your dominant one and when you introduce all new fish to a new set up, then the hirachy occurs for dominance. Should only last about 2-3days. cheers jk :thumbup:

Thank you for your kind remarks on my tank. I ended up cutting a lot of the old leaves off of the sword plants so they're so much smaller now. I think that the back of the tank needs to be filled in with something, but I'm not sure with what yet. Maybe some Vals? I don't know. Hopefully I'll have some luck with the Cabomba's but I never have luck with bunched plants....never! Jessonthenet, no my angelfish have never eaten my plants but they do destroy the leaves when they lay their eggs because they "clean" the leaves first, so they destroy them in the process. And hopefully Larry won't destroy the plants either, but I do think he'll love the tank too. As far as the fighting, it's just awful. I had to pull this one angelfish because there's something wrong with it, it's insane!!! It is an absolutely gorgeous fish and I would love to keep it, but it is terrorizing everything. Bigbird, I hope you're right that it's only lasts 2 to 3 days...I really, really hope so. I can't stand watching them fight.
