    Awesome fish, are your bumble bee gobies kept in freshwater and do your angelfish bother them

    Thanks

    I add approx 1.5 teaspoon salt per gallon.

    Angels don’t bother the gobies. I started with 12 over a year ago and now have 4 left. I even have some ghost shrimp left which really blows my mind.

    GREAT looking fish! What size tank is that? It looks a bit crowed in there. I realy don’t have any room to talk, mine is pretty full to. I have three filters on mine to keep things right. Good Luck & Good Day!

    Sorry so late getting back to your comment. It’s an 85 gallon tank.

    cool tank looks a bit over croweded but besides that a wonderful set up. i had 2 angels and 2 silver dollars in my old freshwater tank those 4 fish were my favorite but now im in the SW hobby with a long and VERY expensive rode to go through with corals and invertebrate you should check out my tanks ask questions give suggestion whatever you want.

    Wow that tank is really crowded. That is too many fish for 85 gallons.

    Yep, you’re right but their still doing well. Almost all the fish are still alive and healthy. I’ve only lost a couple of the tiny guys.

    You must have a good filtration system. It still would be a good idea to take some of them out. I also have a question, how long have you had these fish. I want to know because I have three angels and i want to know how big they are going to get. I dont have much experience with angelfish but I have had cichlids before and I know they grow pretty fast.

    I too have had cichlids but angels seem to grow much slower. Mine don’t have huge appetites.

    I bought all these fish within the first 3 months of my tank set-up back in October of 2007.

    So they are definately full grown. More or less what size would you say your angels are. I only have had my angels for about 3 or 4 months.

    My largest is around 6 or 7 inches including the tale.
