My little IT is in with some quite 'aggressive' tankmates at current - 3 Nicaraguas, an Oscar, a load of tiger barbs and a firemouth. Theres a adult bristlenose and a 4'' Delhezi in there too but they are ok.

The oscar doesnt like him, and the nics try to unsettle him. The barbs are just a bit too active for him and probably make his head spin.

Im selling the O and barbs, ill keep the firemouth, and ill sell the nics.

Just wondering, I have two baby angels that im growing out - they are the last two children from my old breeding pair and I have some attachment to them (one is golden pearlscale like the mother, and the other is normal amazon like the father), so Im wondering, once they are a decent size, will they be ok with my IT?

I personally dont think theyll be a problem, they arent territorial, and the dat has lots of hiding places...

Then ill be adding a bunch of Keyhole cichlids once they grow out too...

Its in a 65g (4x1.5x.1.5') which should be fine for ages with 2 AC110s, will get a 100G in the future, but then ill probably only have the IT and birchir in there.

Thoughts?
 
in my tank, angelfish can be territorial sometimes.....i had a pair, but 1 killed by NGT......IT doesn't bother him at all.....i kept them in 500 litre...
 
Im hoping these two dont pair... ewwww incest!

my gf is attached to the angels, but shes attached to the dat more, so If the dat had a snack im sure she wouldnt mind that much...
 
As long as the dat can't fit the angels in it's mouth, I don't see any problem. I had one in a 55gl with an adult male and they just ignored each other.
