I upgraded the lighting to a double strip Hagen GLO t5 HO and it's really making my plants grow faster. No co2 on this setup.

maybe the first on AC, but not the first time this has been done. I even had a 14" congicus in there, never touched the angels.

Glad you like them. It's not only sens that are save with angelfish. Most polypterids are fine with them, maaayyybe the larger species would eat them if they are freshly imported, but a large speciment that is adapted to prepared foods poses little threat to an adult angelfish. They are opportunistic and they do stop eating when full, so a well fed adult bichir doesn't care to chase down an angelfish or ambush attack it when it can get an easy meal for less energy. There are papers written on this subject, 'Handling time ecology' or something like that.

That is an NTT aka Thin bar datnoid. He has great color, but isn't always in the mood to show off lol
