I have some very small angles in a 125 gallon. (About 10 nickel size) I plan to grow them out.
I recently added a school of neon's (about 30-40).
Will they eventually get eatin when the angle get bigger or will the neon's get big enough? Right now the neon's are about 3/4".
 
Angels and neons look so cool together,but more often than not the angels start eating the neons as soon as they can fit them in thier mouth
 
keep your fish fed and you shouldnt have a problem. i have never had an angel eat any fish. i feel that two small feedings a day is the best.
 
My angels have eaten guppies and rosies.
I wouldn't suggest keeping them with the neons for too long.
 
I have seen large angels and neons before and they were all doing fine and they angels didn't eat any. Besides since your raiseing them together the angels may not see them as food as they get older. Just keep them together and see what happens but if you start to see any problems occuring just remove the neons.
 
my wife's angels will try to eat anything they think they can get in their mouths
 
I have kept them togethher often, I just consider that the neons will slowly disappear to be the price of the look, try cardinals instead if you want them to last longer, the little bit of size difference is usually enough to keep them uneaten.
 
:iagree: I keep cardinals with my angels. Angels have ZERO interest in them although they haven't acheived full size. If anything, the cards are being dithers to keep the angels from fighting ;)
