are you starting another tank? your angel and ropefish both eat smaller schooling fish. angels are great fish .the rope fish ive been interested and thought i remember the store owner saying they ate fish.

 

[onepawnup]

was considering the rope and the angel fish for the 55 gal

 

[josephish]

for angels although they are cichlids they will also school when there are two or more. i would get about 5 or 6 angel fish and the rope fish is it a sengullis(the rope fish here from memory was spelled kinda like that and i think it was indigenous to florida)

will 55 gal be enough tank to add the 5 angel fish ?

 

[josephish]

55 gal plenty of room for 6 angelfish. i would do about 30% water change a week. i have stocked a 55 gal with twice that amount and no problems

 

[josephish]

another good fish to go with angels would be a festivum cichlid they are similiar in personality(cichlid but not overly agressive)

ok thanks for the suggestions will everything be compatible with the clown loaches
?

ive had clown loaches with cichlids before no problem those clown loaches are fast. make sure you have caves or tubes for the loaches they hide alot during the day. make sure the loaches are eating also. when i have bottom fish like loaches i usually use a feeding tube(nontransparent) so other fish wont see it and the food gets right to the loaches. angels are very aggresive eaters.
