Combining different sized Angelfish

[waldo12]

Hey everyone

I have a 120 gallon tank with 4 small angelfish (around 2-2.5 in.), 35 black neons, 2 Bristlenose plecos, & 7 cories. My cousin gave me an angelfish thats 3.5 inches big. I was wondering wether I could put the angelfish in the 120 gallon without causing any problems to the smaller angels. There are some plants, lots of driftwood, and hundreds of hiding spots in the tank, so im not really that worried, but I just have to check.

thanks in advance

it's hit or miss with Angels.
there is no really good way to predict how things will go.
best advice is to QT the new fish then when adding keep an eye on the tank.

Alright Ill try that

I also wanted to add more angelfish to make the total count 8. Would that make the tank overstocked?

with a large tank you can see the schooling behavior of Angels.

however, be aware that that they can show typical Cichlid behaviors aka aggression. often conspecific..especially true with any pair formation.
just be ready and keep an eye out

I typically mix different sized angels in my 95 I use for potential breeders. I have adults with some half dollars with some quarters and just added some nickels. The larger ones might chase the little guys at first, but pretty soon they are just part of the pack. With such a large tank I wouldn't worry about it.

HTH,
