Need stocking help ASAP!!!?
My neighbor decided she doesnt want her fish tank anymore and all she has left is one small angelfish and 3 cory cats. She was going to flush them and I felt bad so I said I would take them. Now I don't know which tank to put them in, I have a 55g that has parrot cichlids, glowfish, yoyo loaches and a couple snails. I also have a 27g tall hex that has a dwarf ram, glofish and ghost shrimp. I was thinking of putting the angel and the cories in the hex tank since it doesnt have many fish and angels do better in taller tanks and I don't know if the cories and loaches would get along in the 55g.
Suggestions??
The glofish are in the hex, Glow Tetras are in the 55g. I put glofish by mistake. The glow tetra are all over 2 inches so with the parrots small deformed mouths they will never be able to eat them
My parrots will be fine. They are not true blood parrots, they will only reach 6-8in max. I've had them for a year and the biggest one is only 5in. As for the angel I'm getting another one. My friend has had 2 angels in a 30gal tall hex and they are full grown and perfectly healthy. I've seen multiple videos on fish forums that have 12+ full grown angels in a 55g so I think 2 in a 27 is fine.

in the hex, none of them will survive with a parrotfish, in fact you won't have the glowfish for much longer in the parrot tank.

I do not know if a 27 gallon, evan a taller hex, will house the angel fish when it starts nearing full size. The 55 is not gonna be big enough for the parrots when they start to grow.
You might want to plan to upgrade these fish within the next few months.
Danios/glofish can get fin nippy, you will have to see how they do with the angel.
The ram and angel might clash since it is a small tank.
cories and loaches should befine as far as personality. but cories and angles prefer a low-nutral Ph 6.5 - 7.2, while loaches could be ok from 7.0 - 7.8
