I have a lrge angel that want to move over to another tank that has 3 corys, as the tank is larger, are they ok to mix?
 
yeap, actually it's your best bet, the 60 is too small for the Angels. Nonetheless, the Angels will not bother the cories as the cories are bottom dwellers while the Angels are mid-dwellers. You really shouldn't have any angels in the smaller tank.... it's just too small for them.
 
The cories will mix great with the angels. I have this set up myself. They hardly acknowledge each others existence, well except for when my angels get greedy and pick at the sinking wafers i feed the cories! But even then there are no problems companion wise - I think a 60 gal is fine for your angels also

No comment :)

The thing is, ill have all bottom feeders and 1 top/mid feeder, i dont feed flake, ect as none feed from the top, what do i do about feeding the angel, not that he eats alot anyway, especially flake. He will have to eat some tabimin with his cory mates.

Why not get the angel a little flake food? any thing that sinks to the bottom will be eaten by the bottom feeders. You need to get him something at the top because that is where he will first look for food, angels actually will beg :bowing: for food and know they are getting fed once they get used to you and the routine - The best thing you could do for your angel would be to get some hikari freeze dried brine shrimp, tubifex worms or blood worms - they love these three foods, but you don't want them as the main diet more for a once a week treat they go nuts for it - i feed my fish a semi floating granule pellet i honestly can't think of it's name but i will post back here tonight with it - it's color enhancing and great food - i can't believe how much more colorful my fish have become! They are also addicted to it they go more insane for this food than anything else i've ever seen it's a great food - i'll let you know what it is soon - check back on this thread or i can PM you as well the stuff is great - the best part is that it also sinks so you can feed your angels and cories with the stuff -
 
I have many foods, ill give the blood worms a shot as both corys and angel like those..

And if you could get that name that would be GREAT, sounds like lush stuff...
 
I'll let you know - it's about 5 bucks a can and i get it at my lfs i've never seen it in chain stores - ppl actually travel to this guys shop to get it it's so good -

I think Angels are great for a 60 gallon too..... but were talking 60 litres here though ;) I was pointing out that 60 "litres" is too small for all his angels....
