Rainbow fish question

[daveedka]

I am still mulling over ideas for the 70g set-up, my initial plan was 2 angels 4-6 rams and some tetra's otto's, maybe cories etc. Mch of this is still up for debate, but the angels and rams are pretty well decided on, and everything else would go around that idea.

My question is would rainbow fish fit into a tank with a couple angels and some rams. What are potential problems, or experiences people have had?

The tank will be heavily planted as well, probably with some driftwood.

Ayone keep rainbows with angels?

I don't know much about rainbows (sorry!) yet I do know that Angels can take up a lot of space, and if rainbows arn't very social fish then they might stress out the angels, again I only know a little about angels because I own one, best to wait for other replys to verify/ denounce me!

I haven't had a problem with rainbows and angelfish. Both are pretty gregarious. Rams can be shyer, so you'd have to ensure they could get their fair share of food with those tankmates.
