If you add the angels, as they mature, you may soon find your neons disappearing. The neons are prey for the angels in the wild and before too long, theirinstinct will kick in.

I've heard of numerous people keeping their angels with neons without any problems.......so, I'm going to attempt it..... if I notice my neons being eaten, I'll move them into a new tank... :) ......also would give me a reason to buy a new tank... :clap:
I currently have a common pleco i believe? Ive had him for a good year now.....shy guy, always in hiding... and still very small....... in the next few years he'll eventually be moved into a 100+ tank.. so

you can add the gouramis, they are both fairly peaceful, as lond as you get one male to two females.

Yeah, i had honey gourami before...... loved them........ I had 2 males and one female though...... lol, got them as babies and couldnt sex them till they got older.........but, they all were fine together (gave them back to petstore when i moved away).......but, this time im really thinking about going for pearl gourami if i can find some.. i just want to know if id be fully stocked with this in a 70gallon

if you get gouramis, go for 1 male and two females. this will lessen the aggression on each female and prevent any fights between males.
you may have issues with aggression between the angels if they are not introduced at the same time and are the same size.

It can happen but the outcome is inevitable. Just watch them is all I can suggest ;)
