Angels and Sevs

[Lady G]

I was wondering if anyone has kept Angels and Sevs together? If so, what was your experience with them?

If I added my Angels to my tank it would be...2 Gold Sevs, 1 FM, 1 Blue Gourami, 3 Paradise fish and then the 2 Angels....this is a 55

should be ok G watch the angels though they might get territorial when bigger

i have them together. when the sevs were smaller they would nip the angels' fins a little, but as they now approach the same size they don't do it anymore. i think it was a defense mechanism - don't mess with me, i can nip you! the angels don't really care about the sevs at all, they do more damage to each other than the sevs do to them.

edit: i don't know how it would be adding smaller angels to larger sevs.

[Lady G]

Ok, well...I think I'll at least give it a try, I can always take them back out if needed, Thanks guys!! :)

My son keeps a green Sev with two angels and others. I think it will depend on their personalities.

[Lady G]

Ok, since so each person who has responded has said either they have done it or known someone who has and it has been fine, I am going to try it out.

Thanks guys, I just want my Angels to be able to go to a larger tank and also let my "girls" have their tank back to themselves. :)

I'd worry about these paradise gouramis, blue gourami and firemouths more than the sevs.:shakehead:

I think you listed a firemouth in that tank. I would watch him just in case he decides to be a problem with the angels. I do not have any experience with sevs and angels together but again just keep a close eye on things and if things are going fine then great.If it is a problem then be ready to move someone if necessary. Also paradise fish can be feisty too and need to be watched for any weird interactions.

Well, my Firemouth...yes I will be watching him. He does fine toward everyone else in the tank, except when they try and go to his spot..then he comes out flairing, but just gives a little chase and leaves them alone once they are away from his area. He was more aggressive when he had his female in the tank.

The paradise fish, really I am still learning about them...since well (dare I say) they were an "impulse" buy, which I knew nothing about. So far though they pretty much stay with each other and don't really bother anyone else in the tank.

I will be keeping an eye on the tank though, and if it seems there is going to be a problem..well I'll just move the angels back with the female bettas :)

[Lady G]

So, I just wanted to update. I did get my Angels moved into the 55g, so far everyone is doing well.
