hello

i was wondering what types of fishes can Cardinal Tetras stay with? I currently have in my 29 gallon tank one 4.5" Angelfish, one 4" blue gourami, one dwarf male gourami, one female dwarf gourami, one oto cat, on dwarf curvicep cichlid, 2 plecos, one black skirt tetra, 3 scissor tail rasboras, one paradise gourami, and one albino skirt tetra.

My Angelfish doesn't kill the fishes but when I put in my scissor tail rasboras, the angel didn't really bother trying to go after eating them. Even though the Angelfishs' mouth is big enough to swallow the rasboras.

Also, I try to prevent too much stress from enveloping the fishes by doing partial water changes (5 - 10%) and on Fridays I will always do a gravel wash.

I do the same for my 4 other tanks.

90, 55, 100, 150. So I guess I have 5 tanks with the 29 gallon

All my tanks are filled with live plants, and I stick to swords, and I have water sprites too and I always keep them rooted in the gravel. I don't use any special substrate for my plants or anything like that.. just normal gravel that is easy to siphon.

I have some snails too but I think they died out from my Gouramis eating them... I saw a one a few days ago.

So I guess I put in too much information but I hope anyone can help me.
