Good fish community for 100 gallon?

Question

I am turning my hundred gallon tank into a community... what do you think?

*1 Angelfish

*1 Female betta

*6 mollies

*6 platies

*6 Cory cats (or any other algae eater tht you recommend)

I already have:

*14 guppies

*4 Neon Tetras

*Also planning on buying 6 more Neon Tetras.

Answer 1

a plecostomus for an algae eater

Answer 2

You need less guppies like maybe 6 guppies and more neon tetras like 12. oh and corys are not algae eaters they eat food that falls to the bottom.

Answer 3

that would be one hugely understocked tank. I would take the bettas out, because they can sometimes be aggressive towards other fish, and either the angel or guppies/neon tetras will have to go. When angels get large enough they will eat smaller fish. Keep the cories, and add some siamese algae eaters or ottos on top of it.

Edit: The black ghost knife will not work with the guppies and neons either. He will eat them up over night because they are nocturnal hunters, they find food by electrical currents, since they are almost blind. Basically they are kind of like bats of the sea. The can and will eat up any small fish you have. I have a BGK and he at up all the cardinals I put in the tank. BGK can go with angels, but I only suggest if you want to use them that you get some large sized tetras, cherry barbs are not too bad, but many barbs will nip the fins of fancy fish like the angels.

Answer 4

Angelfish will eat the neons and guppies when they are fully grown.

Black ghost knife will eat them any time - they aren't agressive fish, but they are nocturnal stealth hunters that quietly sneak up on small fish at night and just swallow them.

You need to decide if you want to stay with the smaller fish, that are compatible. A large tank like that will house a LOT of smaller fish like neons, guppies, cories and otos.

Or go with the larger semi-agressive fish like the angels and knife fish. Larger tetras, barbs, gourami, plecos, peacefull cichlids. Not agressive fish, but big enough to not get eaten.
