new to angels

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i see, what size do they start to breed and where is the breeding tube located?
thanks for the id tropicalfishking! how many do you keep in a group to minimize aggression on 1 fish? and what other tankmates could i put in with them?
 
They will start to pair up at around 1 year and breeding will follow. I would get 1 for 2 more depending on how big the tank is. the breeding tube is located right where they poop out of...

Corys would be a good bottom fish. Get a group of 6-12 of one species and you'll be good to go.

How big is your tank?
 
thanks tropicalfishking!
do you know what the scientific name of this strain of angels? id like to research more about them :)

tank is 48 x 18 x 19 inches
i have 5 angels in the tank so far.
 
You will be fine agression wise and the number that you have. Almost all angelfish species take the same care. Except altums and scalare, Not quite sure on the scalare though. They will like a lower pH, mine are at 6.5ish. If your pH is like that just add some drift wood. But remember, a stable pH is better than than one that fluctuates.
Slow currents and tall plants, like most Vallisneria plants.
 
If you keep up on the waterchanges, and good food the body will get to about the size of your palm. The fins should end up being taller than the body is long. The body should be 6 inches or so, including the tail fin.
 
ExtraMe - Look like Platinum Angels to me. I have a pair of these too.

I have Hatchets with my Angels, and also some glass catfish if you like somethng a bit unusual.
 
I have lemon tetras and neons with my adult angels and never had an issue. The angels know that twice a day food falls from the sky and spend most of the day looking at the top of the tank(or their instincts tell them to watch for bugs) and could careless about the other fish. I kept mollies for a while until the angels failed to keep their populations in check.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys, i think i would also be adding a few lemon tetras to my tank to add color to it. can't wait for the plants to grow so that the angels would have a jungle to live in
 
it would be cool to have a school of 15-20 lemon tetras and then a school of 12 corys on the bottom.
