Angel fish as tank mates?

[LostFish]

Has any1 ever tried this comp? iam looking to put some angels in a 75 gal with a 4-5 inch albino sen. From what i gather albino sen wont grow more than 10inches so i think it may work for a while, whats yall opinion?

Senegal Bichirs grow to about 10"-12",
and angelfish from what I read grow 6"(long?)
My angel is only 4.5" long and i dont know if hes growing still.
Angels are usually middle-top fish,
and bichirs are usually bottom, or surface water fish.

It could probably work out with a lot of plants and caves and such.
Good luck, and welcome to MFK.

i have kept them together no problems but if the angels breed the bichir will eat the babys

It works perfectly, I've done it and so has a friend of mine.

The only problem I ran into is that the angelfish were eating too much, it's not good for their health to let them gorge on food like the bichirs do.

just don't add snooks to the mix.. then you end up with dead angels

i'd say it'd work for most upper jaw species.
