Angel Tankmates

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.

Sorry my bad. Rams would do fine in warmer water. Go the apisto rout over rams.

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.

NO TIGER BARBS! Unless you want finless angels. They are terrible fin nippers!

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.

Eventualy the tank will be too small but you could start them in the 90.

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.

Skip balas and chineese algae eaters both get a little aggreive as they grow.

Not sure if this will work for you or not, but in my planted 55 I have 4 angels, 6 corys, and an ebjd. Out of all the tanks I have this is my favorite combination.

Nice combo man. I completely forgot about EBJD's. Now I need to go find a 55 and straight up copy you lol.

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.

Really depends on how many you want to try to keep. If you put 5-6 in a 90 one pair will probably form and they could quite possibly chase and or harass the others to death. In a 90 you should be able to keep a group, but it's still no guarantee..... they are still cichlids and once a pair forms you could have issues....alot of folks buy a group, wait till the pair forms and return the rest...

Clown loaches can get very big and are very active at night. They can get up to a foot long and are best in groups so that alone could effect your stocking.

Tiger barbs are just asking for trouble. I've kept them for years and they are just too rambunctious for angels.... and they are horrible fin nippers. That combo is just begging for trouble.

Most medium sized tetras would work.... I keep mine with serpaes and it's touch and go since the serpaes are a little nippy but they are mostly peaceful. Any corys, apistos, rams and most small loricariids work great as well. Just make sure water parameters are compatible.... good luck
