Stocking question.

[vmprlrd]

Can i stock angels with black skirted tetras in a 40 gallon? and if so how many can i have of each. if i cant put black skirted tetras with angels are there any fish i can put in with angels? all the fish will be introduced at once and my tank has been running for few years i would just liek to change the stoking option.

Two angles 6-8 tetras. Should be a nice tank. maybe some cories or a bristle nose?

i would stick with one angel unless they are a breeding pair.

:iagree:

You could also stick some juvies in there and wait until they pair off then return the others.

will the angel eat the tetras?

[vmprlrd]

i mean will the angel nip at the tetra's fins? especially if i get a pair?

[rich311k]

No they should pretty much leave them alone.

[vmprlrd]

ok. thanks for your help guys

[jpappy789]

I agree...the black skirts are large enough to not be eaten and the angels shouldn't bother them at all.

[vmprlrd]

my only worry is if i get a mating pair will they terrorize the tetras.

[jpappy789]

They will defend their area but shouldn't cause any physical harm to the tetras, maybe some chasing but that's all...

It can be quite the show. A good pair is a site to see in action defending a spawn.

ok. Thanks guys.
