[SuckmyPleco]

Sevs are pretty mild unless they're breeding. My male went all Ike Turner on his mate after she laid her 4th batch of eggs. Put her in a q tank but the damage had been done. My male is in my 125 and gets along with my blue acara. But, as always, each case is unique and nothing is guaranteed when it comes to fish keeping.

sevs and most acaras are usually ideal tankmates

Lose the "inch per gallon" rule, it doesn't work that way. That's an old saying that just won't die. I'm not so sure the Acaras would leave the Angels alone and Angels are pretty slow fish.

So if that doesnt work what can i do to make sure i dont overstock my tank?
