I am going to be setting up my 90g for my parents at their house and I think my mom will like angels best. What else could i keep with them?

I was looking at clown loaches but read they can stress out the angels.

Just tell me everything that can go with them please.
 
Thanks for input. Any other schooling bottom fish?
 
PEACEFUL
corydoras
most tetras
apistogrammas
rasboras
most live bearers
just about anything community

ODDBALLS
Butterfly Fish
Bichirs
some knifes
silver hujetta gars
sometimes festivums
some headstanders
smaller catfish

Options are wide open and it's all up to you. Find some that you like and ask us if they will do well with angels. Way too many fish to remember or just list.
 
ok thanks. You really think a couple pairs of apistos would work?
 
Definatly. As long as the water is soft. My go-to is usualy german rams or bolivian rams.
 
Remember that rams (M. ramirezi) like warm water, 84F+. If you're not willing to keep your angels this warm you may have to choose something else. I've kept various dwarfs with my angels over the years and they all do pretty well. Tetras are good too as long as they are too big for your angels to eat. Cardinals and neons are usually a no-go because the angels will hunt them down and eat them.
 
I've had no problems with loaches, tiger barbs also work.

the only problem I had, is that my breeding couple killed every fish in the tank whenever they spawned.
 
Thanks for suggestions. I have never kept clown loaches but would loev to try them. Should I give them a shot with angels or no?

I think I will be running a fx5 for the 90g.
 
I have a planted 55 g with 2 large angels + corys (several types-all paired), 3 bala sharks, a golden algae eater and a fire eel. We get the most compliments on that tank.
