I want ANGELS

When you bought your fish is there any dead or dying fish in the dealers tank???If have then that is the one may cause the trouble of dying fish.The wild scalare is difficult to take care.I took care some juveniles and it is very prone to fin rot.All my other fishes do not have except for the wild type.I now still quarantining them.The one marbled angel only got white spots so i treated the whole tank because there is a huge outbreak with general aid med that is used to kill common parasites and diseases.And my marbled angel now doing fine see my avatar.(It's actually begging for food there)

Maybe I'm lucky, but have had no problems with my Angels. Mollys, platys and guppies that I buy all die off, but the angels and Tetras just keep on swimming, eating and pooping!

Got 4 marbles at PetSmart, first had them in a 20 high with 3 Black Skirt Tetra's. Now in my 55 with a bunch of other fishies (see sig). No agression on either side except when the Angels spawn, then Mom & Dad will chase the other fishies away from the eggs.

Tank is fully planted, water change every week. Filtration is 2X Penguin 350's, with a UV filter on midnight to 8 Am. Temp at 80. No idea what the PH is (haven't done any tests for awhile).

Fish are spawning so I'm assuming they are happy!
 
I have two wonderful black marble Angels in my 55. They seem very hardy, and they are active and responsive. My Ph is 6.8 and I keep my tank at 80 degrees.

One thing that has surprised and bothered me--I have a small "gang" of Rummy Nose Tetras and lately they have started harassing the Angels. Following them around, nipping at fins, etc. I can tell this is kind of stressful to the Angels. I didn't expect this from the Rummies. They may have won themselves a ticket to a new tank.
 
I was able to breed a couple of Angels in the past but gave them and babies away when I moved. Now I have 4 baby Angels that I am hoping to get a pair out of. Angels are quite exciting to have, especially if they breed and you get to watch how the parents take care of the eggs and then the babies.

Ditto on what has been said about frequent water changes and temp being about 80. Young and breeding Angels should be fed often, at least twice a day. Have some plants or driftwood for them to hide in. Good Luck.
 
Are there any small types of Angels that could live with Danios and not eat them? I'd love to have Angels as well, but I have grown fond of my little Danios and would hate to see them end up as dinner.
 
with angels it's hit or miss when you place them with smaller 'target' fish.

sometimes they are fine with larger tetras/danios etc.
generally many consider danios to active for angels..but then again...it really depends.

if you get an aggressive male angel..all bets are off keeping them with any smaller fish.

fyi. most of the angels you find in stores are Scalare. most of these are domestic.

I have seen leopoldii's/dumerelli's..these are the smallest species of angels you may find.
the other angels is the Altum..very strict water parameters for these..they can be extremely sensitive ..they are the largest angel . most are wild caught.
 
betta and angelfish

i have a betta boy with angels in my 125 gallon and they are fine, never had any problems with them not geting along.

You keep juvenile angels with the danios and it will sure don't eat it when it grew up.
Click to expand...

simply not true...the idea is to raise the angels with smaller fish( including danios). the idea is to 'impress' on the baby angels that these are 'tank mates' and not food

but this is not 100% sure fired that they won't eat the tank mates.

it does work in some cases..so you can try it..but cichlds will be cichlids.
