Hey everyone

I've got a question... If my angels were to pair off, how many full grown adult pairs could I keep in a 120 gallon stocked with 10-12 congo tetras, 2 bn plecos, a sailfin pleco, and a group of cories? The tank has a bunch of hiding spots mainly in the form of driftwood and is lightly planted.

What are bthe tank dimensions as this would have more bearing on the answer than volume. With a longer tank you could put more as there is more space for them to getaway from each other. The congos should help as dithers.

The dimensions are 150x50x60cm/60x20x24"

I have a 4 foot 120 and 2 pairs makes things interesting so I would say 2 maybe 3 and they do get aggressive when spawning

2 should be hassle free, 3 is taking a chance but it might work with the right decor put in.
