Adding an Angle Fish ?

[bauera2]

I currently have an 75 Gallon Aquarium with one dwarf gorami and 6 tetras of various types.

I wanted to add an angle fish or two to this tank but get conflicting opinions from the local pet stores on the compatibility.

Has anyone had experiance?

I'm not sure about the guarami but depending on your tetra's, they could eventually become an Angel snack. They are the natural prey of Angels.

Some tetras can be quite nippy, too, and can pester an angel to death. What tetras do you have?

I keep dwarf Gouramis and Angels together without any problems. I would be wary of the tetras, as the others said they may either: 1. become food
2. hurt/kill the angels

Thanks for the replies!

I have 1 Cardinal tetra, 2 Blackskirt tetra, 2 Serpae tetra, 3 Silvertip tetra, 1 gold dwarf guarami, and 1 Plecostomus Catfish.

The Tetras are all full grown and are the remnents of my original 35 gallon comunity.

I recently (Nov.) added 5 dwarf guarami's of varing colors all but this one have died.

I want to add some fish that grow from 3-5" and are colorful. Since it sounds like Angle fish may not be an option and I have had little sucess with the Guarami's, do you have any suggestions??

I wouldn't house black skirt tetras or serpaes with an angelfish. High probability of nipping...

Funny how many people experience different things with their fish.

I have 6 full grown angles in my tank, and not a nip out of any of their vales. With serpaes, tin foils, guarami's in there as well.

Good luck
