Angelfish in my 55 gallon planted? possible?

[emptywallet]

okay well i was wondering if i could get like 4 or 2 angels in my 55 gallon planted tank look at my sig for animals in my tank

The angels would probably eat the guppy fry (and possibly the guppies) and I think that serpae tetras can be nippy and so would shred the angels fins. Put the serpae tetra in the 30 gallon, and get a single angel to control the guppy population.

6 emerald cories- probably

5 otos- probably

zeba oto- me thinks so

25ish guppy+fry- those fry will soon become yummy angelfish snacks, and maybe the parents too!

10 cherry shrimp- nah

6 serpae tetras- probably...if they're not nippy and the angels aren't mean

3 green swordtails+fry- not the fry

I'm going to say no...

IME oto=food.

I have not been able to keep oto's with any of my angels. large angels find the 'appealing'.

same goes for cherry shrimp.

artemis "the angels aren't mean" I'm not sure I agree with this

I have a particular large male that is meaner than ...well you insert the word.

it beat the bejeezus out of all the other males in the tank.

okay so i moved the cherrys in my 10 gallon and even if i got like tank bred angels not like wild altums i mean like cheap nice looking ones from pet stores...im fine with losing some guppies and i think i might wanna trade in the serpeas even tho they are so pretty but they arent nippers atleast to any guppies except one that thinks he is a serpea tetra

there are plenty of tank bred nice looking angels..but I would look to local breeders for them. IME the domestics are not much less aggressive than the wilds

hmm thought they would lose that aggression what if i got like nickle sized fry? and raised them in that tank do you think they'd get use to all the other fish and maybe not be to aggressive?

I doubt it. Remember they are not exactly "intelligent". when they see small fry, they will see it as a snack after ceratin size

np i am annoyed by my guppy fish they have no respect for me! and yes some angels are intelegent i have read that Altums can recognize the person who feeds them and can recognize some people
