Hello All,

Is it ok to keep Angle fish, Kissing gourmis and bala shark in the same,
tank? if so, how many of each. I have a 33 gallon aquarium. Also, what other
kind of fish can go with them.

thanks in advance everyone.

Kissers and baas both want to be a foot long. They will never reach their
potential in a 33gal tank.

None of these will thrive in that size of tank. They will out-grow the
tank or die at an early age.

Best regards,

I'd choose some more suitable inhabitants from the beginning. :-)

You should really think about trading in those fish that you have for
some Platys, with most of the ones that you get being female Platys.
Platys come in many beautiful colours and combination of colours, and at
least some of the females will most likely already be pregnant when you
purchase them, because the females only need to be 'with' a male once,
to have three batches of fry. Fancy guppies are the same way. The only
problem with them is the having to separate the fry, the baby fish from
the adults, so that the adults don't eat them, and also getting another
tank just for those baby fish. A small five gallon tank will do. I have
a 55, three 30, and four 10 gallon glass and metal aquariums, and a four
foot long transparent 12 gallon plastic storage container that I call my
"Plastic Pond", and all of the Platys and Fancy Guppys that I currently
have now were born right here in my tanks. I love it when I find that
some babies have been born so much, that it's a wonder that I don't go
hand out cigars,...Of course they would be cigars made of pure
chocolate!LOL. I wish you good luck with your fish, what ever you
choose to do.
