Angel tank mates?

[Hooked Newbie]

Bleeding hearts might be a possibility but will they nip at the fins of my angels?

I've only observed them at the Aquarium, but I've never seen any nipping between them and the Altums they were housed with.

Ok well maybe I need to look for some of those if I can find some that are really good size. I just get tired of putting fish in the tank that are supposed to be compatible with angels and they end up disappearing never to be seen again.

I can imagine! At least the Angels are happy. :lipssealedsmilie: Sorry, couldn't resist.

I totally feel you!!
As far as the nipping w/ bleeding hearts I've read that they can nip and then I've read that they are fine with angels. I've seen them housed with angels, but personally I don't have any experience with them. Sorry.

I did have some issues with german rams chasing my angels around a bit.

Black phantoms, red phantoms, glass bloodfins and X-ray tetras are worth a try.

I have 5 full grown congos in with 3 full gown angels and some full grown rainbows. The congos swim with the rainbows and nobody bothers the angels. Congos also get as big as rainbows too. They may be a good choice to put with the angels. They will, however, occupy the middle zone with the rainbows and angels. If you want fish in different zones you could try come dwarf cichlids or large killifish.

I had red phantoms in with the angels and rainbows and they have all but disappeared. I think I need to go on a mission for some very large tetras like the bleeding hearts in extra large size and possibly some congos too. I have always wanted to try some congos and in the 125 gallon there is plenty of room. At least there is now.

Any other suggestions on really large tetras to go in with my angels and rainbows will be appreciated.

Congos all the way, they are gorgeous and active. Make sure if you do to get a couple of females. It makes the males color up more.

Buenos Aires Tetras are also too big and too fast for my Angels
