Angel Tankmates

[gomezladdams]

I have some cories and a hillstream loach with my angels.
a few black kuhlis in with the other angels.none of them bother the purple brigs I keep with them.been thinking of a small school of tetras

My six adult angels live in a 75 gal. long with 4 julii corys, 8 kuhli loaches, 1 zig-zag eel, and an ever fluctuating number of neons. Everyone gets along quite well, with the exception of the neons who get picked off occasionally by my koi angels. The neons all started out as generic "small feeders". Some were either smart or quick enough to escape predation......at least for a while.

yeah i've kept discus, african butterfly, corys, trichogaster and dwarf gouramis, apistos, rams, geophagus are also good, spiny eels, (fire eel, peacock, tiretrack, etc.) banjo cat, black ghost knife, elephant nose, and probbly more stuff that i cant think of right now in with my angels. they were pretty much adults when i gave them tankmates though, but if they start breeding get tankmates separated, the angels will tear them apart. (trust me)
and if you add discus, watch out for internal parasites definately! but yeah definately consider geophagus. (geophagus, satanoperca, whatever...) i have jurupari and surinamensis in there right now, and probably adding a balzani.

I currently have 4 housed in a 75 gallon tank with 15 cardinal's and 3 skunk cory's.

I know it's considered a no-no by some but in the past I've kept Discus with Angels with absolutely no problems at all.

As have I......well, almost. The only issue I ever faced with putting those two species together was the aggresion the angels do exhibit when they spawn. Other than that, it worked really well as the angels were always out in the open in the midlle depths and the discus were usually a little closer to the bottom and more prone to hiding in the plants.
