I agree with more hatchets...they are pretty skittish fish that need a group of at least 6 to feel more comfortable...

how is that fine?!?? the angels will eat the neons, no doubt about it.
Yoyo loaches and angels are not a good match IMO either. The activity level of the yoyos will disturb the angels. Not to mention that angels prefer calm water while yoyos prefer rapid moving water.

Yikes...didn't see that!
I agree. Any tetra except neons will be ok I think.

even if they are raised together the angels will eventually have the neons over for dinner. plus, having only two angels is not enough to form a pecking order, unless they are a breeding pair. you will need from 5 to 7 to have a pecking order, which would be far to much for your tank. if you want angels, stick to one for a 40 gallon.

i bought all the fish together and dont have room for seperate tank
people say corys for tankmates for angels
but they are just as active and physcho my two are anyway and the six or more rule they would be even more physcho.
just from my experience anyway i guess maybe good if they are unhappy.. not
So you bought them the day you also asked if the stocklist is okay? You should have done the latter before you buy them.:)
