Angels, what to place with them.

[mistahoo]

I'd stay away from the cory cats and mollies. Personally I don't like the cats unless it's the nicer ones and in a different setup. The rams sound nice. There was a member on here selling the electric and gold ones for a lot cheaper than local LFS and are the much cooler looking ones

yeah i dont want mollies. i am going to try to get some rams and apistos and see how it goes. i only have 2 angels and i dont plan on upgrading them but 2 angels and 2 plecos looks to empty. the new tank will be for tangs.

Apistos are nice!

Apistos are nice!

but can be pricey. i mean an angel fish is less than $8 in my case i paid 2.99 each 8 months ago. an apisto can be 15-30 ea

Extreme fish & pets had angel rams about a month ago... neatest looking fish!

I dont just want any fish. It must be compatible and make the angels look good.

last LSF i went to was Fish ranch and city pets like 3 weeks ago. the only thing i got was exel lol.

All the WetPet Stores are to faraway or I'm always to broke to go. either way, No new fish there but I still love to look....

apistogramma, microgeophagus (rams), and most south american tetras will be fine. very large adult scalare angels can eventually take the cardinal / neon / rummynose tetras but thats just a chance and not a rule. larger tetras of the Hyphessobrycon genus like lemon, phantom, and black neon will get too large to eat. i love emperor tetras but if you are looking for an inexpensive fish then these may not be what you want. microrasboraras are out and i think most small danios would be at risk. i personally like cories like sterbai and have had no problem with them when housed with angels...but angels have different personalities among members. livebearers typically appreciate hard water so i wouldnt keep them with angels. most barbs are out since they are often fin nippers. softwater anabantid fishes like female betta are a nice idea but some gouramis will have aggression issues with angels.

well, i have made my mind and will try rams and apistos i may have to take longer. but i want it done right. what about a redline shark. most of the fish i like are to small for these devil angels. and i do like the lemon tetras i may get some more. i think maybe a group of 5 would school nice.

[Totenkampf]

tetras always look better in a school IMO, lemons are too understated in a small group plus interschooling competition makes them color up. good idea to plan ahead, impulse buying in the LFS never works out well in the long run. be aware that ram males may fight in a 29 gallon, try to get 1 or 2 and twice as many females if you have the room. that plus the angels and pleco would probably be close to a full stocking level in a 29.

[R_sustaita]

yeah space is the next issue thats why i wanted not so small fish. i may get a pair or 2 of apistos or maybe 6 rams and that would be it. maybe a couple of the tetras to get more action i think my male angel may be the size of my palm
