I'm switching up my tank, and it now has 7 clown loaches, and two small angels. I'm going to look for 4 more angels around the same size. I'm hoping for one or two pairs. I'm also going to get a school of cardinal tetras maybe 6 or so. I plan on putting all of them into a 120 gallon thats 4x2x2. Will this be enough to not worry about several pairs of angels? Ans also enough room room to not have to worry about removing the fry?
angel fish ?

I think that you will have no problem with one pair of Angelfish in the 120, but two pairs and I think there will be troubles...
When you get your Red Cardnal Tetras try and get the biggest ones you can as Angelfish tend to eat/pick on smaller torpedo shaped fish.
Eventually the Red Cardnal Tetras will pick off the Angelfish Fry once tthe fry have become free swimming.
If you get lucky and have a pair that raises them it is really fun to watch. I have a pair like that and they are facinating to watch. They move there brood 2-3 times until they are free swimming.
Good luck!

There are no guarantees with cichlids but thats a decent size tank.There may be trouble if theres breeding but it could work.just keep an eye on it,you may have to pull some.
Okay cool, I have three allready looking for 2 or 3 more, just wanting to find the right colors, it seems like all my fish stores have are marbled.
