What kind of Fish do you have in with your Angels2007-11-24 23:42:20

I have just brought yet another 200 litre tank (4 in total now)

what fish do you have in with your angels and how well do they get along. eg/ what loaches, bottom feeders etc.

Please dont patronize me by telling me angels grow big and can get territorial and aggresive, i know that, i have been keeping fish for years but have not had the chance to have a seperate tank for angels so put off buying them untill now.

Answers:

If you've had the angels for a while I would probably leave them alone as it would upset them having some new fish enter their territory. I've only had success with angels and other community fish when I grew them all together from young. That included tetras of various varieties (bleeding heart, Neons, Cardinals), livebearers (excluding guppies) and catfish such as plecs and various corys.

I found loaches a bit too aggressive with angels (Don't know why) but they never got on. Clown loaches in particular were a bit of a nightmare

A nice species tank of angels are a great sight especially if you can get them to breed. being a cichlid they are a fascinating to watch if you can get them to pair well. Alternatively get some community cichlids such as small convicts or Kribensis they will be quite nice but prepare to have to put up with squabbling for territory and you might find that angels won't put up with a lot of bullying so be warned. Hope it helps

You can keep most community fish with Angels if the Angels are young & grow up with them. However Like you say they get terrortorial when you add new fish, so if you build a good community tank & get young angels you should be fine.

Gouramis go well with Anglefish (since they too can get large and aggressive, so they can hold their own against them). There are several different types which can add a splash of color to your tank.
