Brigs with an Angelfish?

KuchDaddy · Mar 17, 2008

Could brigs be housed in the same tank with an angelfish?

I think I know the answer, but I am hoping to hear somebody say, "oh yeah, no problem, my angel and brig are best buddies".

I think it would be likely that your angel would think snail antennae are a delicious treat. The antenna will grow back, but often if a snail is harassed it won't feed properly which means it will starve to death. I haven't kept angels, so I can't speak first hand, but I guess it would depend more on how heavily stocked the tank is and how densely planted. Brigs aren't like shrimp where they will hide and "survive". I imagine it would cause some issues, but I am interested to hear what others have to say.

Aye, I also figured that the antennae would be an irresistable treat, but I though i'd see if anyone had success with it. I did find this post, at least one person keeps them together without difficulty:
