I have a 10gal tank, with 2 angl fish, 2 male guppies(getting more soon) a ghast fish, and two suckers(not sure what kind.) The suckers genarlally keep it clean, but I still clean/filter change.

I used to has sunset platty's, two. One named Norbit, and one named Raspusia.(From the movie Norbit.) I lovvved those two, It was before I had the angel fish(they are my ish birth control) and The mother Platty was getting bigger, and I knew she was Preggers, and dind't know when to expect the fishlets,fry. So one day, Nekox was at my house, and she saw a lil orange fish, we cought it, and put it in the baby safe tank. Then we watch the mother, and watched her have, like 10 more, very cool. Then one day we cleaned the tank, and SHE JUMPED OUT. I looked in the tank, thought I saw everyone, whent down stairs, got a drink*drank it* and whent back up,(like, 5mins) And I looked on the floor, and there was my lil orange fish! i put her in the tank, and she floated for a min, then swam, and I had that fish for another year :)

i hate goldfish bowls. My cusins had a betta, on a desk above there comp. one feeding a week. In a tiny glass vase. (my aunt didnt want it, and flushed it(alive.)

Emma...Your tank is way over stocked. ._. A pair of angels need somewhere between 20-25 gallons of water...Also, guppies are food for angels. Keeping them together can be done, however Angels will eat anything small enough to fit in their mouths.

http://fishinfo.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pleco.jpg

Is this your sucker fish? Its a pleco. There are many species, but almost all can get this big:

http://badmanstropicalfish.com/species- ... pleco2.jpg

Its common for them to get anywhere from 12 inches to 24 inches. A pleco needs anywhere from 50-100 gallons. D:
I'm not trying to be a downer I just think fish keeping is a serious commitment. A 10 gallon is rarely big enough for most types of fish. Your peaceful community fish NORMALLY have to be kept in schools of 5+ and do poorly on their own. The one inch of fish per gallon is total crap.

Yeah, The angels are rather small, the make is roughly 2 1/2 in, and the femail about 2in.

And no, The kind I have are very small, They were given to me by a freind, so i dont know, There is only one, I for somereason thought there was two. The Guppies and the angels coensie fine together, because, like I said, they are quite small. Im going to take a picture of it, Ill upload it, It seems fine space wise, I mean, the ghoast fish is Small, only an inch, and slender, Im gunna go take the picture.

Emma: By "suckers" I think you mean sturgeons or plecos, like Cardinal said. And it does sound quite a bit over stocked...
Do not ban me. Me and my brother (timmrty) sometimes share a computer and trade pets. Thanks! I used to be Nightshade13, then I was Sylvaen, and then I was Xeta, then I was Trust and now I plan to stay as Calistaria & Trust

Hmm, hard to see. x.x But, yeah, your angels are tiny, just keep in mind they get large. Its either a Chinese or Siamese algea eater or oto cats. I believe all of these should be kept in groups of five. xD MORE RESEARCH IS IN ORDER!

Well, Iv Had the angels for a year, And If they need to go to a larger tank, We have one.

I Need to get info On the cleaner, and, if I have room, I may be able to get more guppies, and I was assured the ghoast fish was fine alone, as long as other fish were in the tank...*Scurries to find info on cleaner fish*

Yep, those are them. They are much to small for ANY fish. People in the fish trade call them 'death traps' because toxins can build up so quickly in them. They can not be filtered nor heated and are up suitable.
