  1. Mollies are fish that prefer a little salt in their water. They can even go full marine. Not a good choice for this tank. 3 angelfish is too much for a 29, but a male/female pair would be fine. Pictus catfish get large and are predatory, may be a problem with the mollies. Chinese algae eaters get much too big for a 29, and as they will grow they will harrass any fish, but especially laterally compressed fish like the angels. Bad mix, poor stocking, and overcrowded. The only fish that are okay, IMO, are two angels.  


  2. the Chinese algae eater will get big and may kill fish

    i dont know about angle fish but it sounds ok

  3.   I would be apprehensive unless the fish you have are very small, even then they will soon outgrow this size tank.

  4. yeah they're fine though you should keep in mind that the algea eater will eat smaller fish when he eventually grows(which he will and they can get BIG)

    good luck with your tank and dont forget to cycle the tank first

  5. If all the Angelfish are the same s*x you're alright, but if a pair form they will pick on the single fish. Mollies are OK, but ideally Angels like slightly acidic water and mollies alkali. Pictus goes well with the Angels liking acidic and bogwood.

    Other guys have said all there is to say about Chinese Algae Eaters, definitely not compatible with catfish.
