hey guys, i got a 30g that needs to be fill.. i want a gentle community fish tank and planning on adding some angelfish.. but with tht on my list already, what other fish tht are suitable with angelfish? :)
 
I have never owned angles but my favorite community fish are Cherry barbs they get briliant colors loosely school and aren't nippy like other barbs. I also love cardinals and I have seen many pics online of angels and cardinals together. those are my two suggestions.
 
If you are looking for small fish, most tetras such as black skirts and rummy nosed will do great. Pencils are good companions for angels too.
If you are a bit more adventurous, bolivan rams, festivum cichlids and discus will do. Some dwarf cichlids will form good companionship too! Had also seen angels kept with geos.
 
For some bottom dwellers, look into some madtoms. They are interesting and are quite active.

I'd do a trio of angels, 6 black neon tetras, and 4 corydoras sps.

I can almost always support madtoms but not sure they'd do well with warmwaters like angels that like 74-80 F water where as madtoms prefer 70 or lower. Maybe at say 72 you could mix them potentially.
 
wow ! thanks guys :) but ive read tht 33g can only fit one angel.. more than tht, they would be territorial .. in the mean time, i would see what my lfs have in store :) now im just trying to donate my leopard sailfin pleco.. gosh, he just poops a lot ..
