Going to go buy Angel Fish today

[gregkarr09]

Hey guys... So I have a 50 gallon tank with (9 bleeding heart tetra's, 8 Red Minor tetra's, 8 glowlight Tetra's, & 5 bloodfin tetra's) I want to buy some beautiful Angelfish today and I was wondering if the tetra's would give the Angels any trouble....I researched the tetra's and pretty much understand that if you have them is schools of at least four they should not nip the fins of the Angels....Anyone confirm that any advice would be great thanks

I wouldn't worry about them nipping the angels, however my angels were picking my glass bloodfin tetras off every couple of days.

really??? like just nipping or killing?

I think eating.

you should get some cheap discus instead IMHO

Nipping to death. Eventually, angels can and will eat small tetras too!

you think so??? The thing is I wont be able to change the water every couple of weeks the best I could do is every 6 weeks and my job has me travel sometimes so it could be even longer than 6 weeks wont that kill the sensitive discuss?

If you have time to feed the fish you have time to do a water change. IMO if you can't do a water change at min every 2 weeks you shouldn't be keeping fish at all.
