I suggest you remove the Aro from the tank, the thing will eat all of your Angels. Also do note that you will need a 180 gallon or larger tank for it!

You run the risk of losing any fish that will fit in the aro's mouth. They grow VERY fast while young so you might start looking for a tank now :thumbsup:

oh yeah the angels are quite a bit bigger than the aro. the only fish i would have to worry about would be the rams and that wouldnt be a big lose any ways.
and yep i am already in the process of finding a BIG tank for the little monster!
i was actually kind of worried about my big angels picking on the aro but they all get along very well even when feeding.
i have a pretty knowledgeble fish store i go to. i have been doing research on the aro and i talked to my fish guy for about an hour about them as i was making up my mind.
thanks guys for not bashing me too bad about having angel fish :grinyes:

Welcome to MFK. Aros are great fish. They really grow fast when their young. But aros got good personalities.
