The reason im asking is because i have a 55g currently with 2angels and i want to start a 10g sand bottom heavily planted with home bred guppies. So if i happened to get to many i could give a treat to another fish

are you kidding me? convicts with angels?
Do not put in convicts they will shred the angels.
A cool oddball would be a sengal bichir (if the angels are full grown). they will eat your guppies and a 55g is considered minimum tank size

Maybe he has mutated angels lol Anyway seriously, if you can find a severum big enough, he would probably eat your guppies but he would have to be big.

Do you mean guppy fry? Because I think the angels would eat them.

The angels would love guppy fry for lunch. I use an angel pair to control swordtail populations.

Yes, depending on how big your Angel is, they will gladly pick off the guppies for you so there really wouldn't be a need for another guppy eating fish.

I second the senegal bichir... only because I love mine. Such a character!! And they will eat anything that can fit in their mouths, but they won't bother anything bigger in the least. Very exotic looking fish and very personable.
I hate that I'm having to find him a new home, but he'd be happier in a tank bigger than the one I've got and I can't afford to replace mine anytime soon.

Agreed. My angel will eat anything- I'm sure yours will love guppy fry.

yeah, the angels will eat them. if you make it a habit to feed them fry, you won't even be able to get the fry out of the net before the angels have hopped right in and eaten them all. i've done it.
