There's a big shoal of Cardinal Tetras, a shoal of Corydoras panda, a group of Nannostomus eques (not my picture)

and this odd Moenkhausia colletti which I'm hoping to get more of soon.

I would ask Angel experts for their opinions. Personally, I'd be worried about the dwarfs if a pair of Angels decided to spawn.

Cichlids each have their own personality. Some seem to get along, even when you would think they would not.
A friend of mine has some wild-caught Angels, Discus and Apistos (3 species) in a 120 gallon tank. So far, they are getting along. The tank is VERY densely planted, so the Apistos have to really work to come out of hiding.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

Great shots Martin, I'm glad the fish are settling in nicely. You know we nearly sold that entire shipment!!! I can't wait to do another order. I had one hobbyist buy 8 pairs of dwarfs today!

On another shipment note have twenty-two 5cm berdmorei set to arrive this Thursday along with a bunch of oddballs (African Bloodfish) and some newly available snails and shrimp.

Keep up the picture taking you are doing great!
