cuz i bought a small veil tail angel from my lfs, but they also carry medium sized angels as well, so im wondering if itd be ok to get medium sized ones to go with a small one. id be getting 3 more, so id have 4 angels.
I dont see it as a problem.But it might depend on how big your tank is.I also have small angels with my large one.The large one dont seem to be given them any problem at all.
Watch for signs of bullying (nipped fins, etc) because the smallest fish may become a target. I have 6 young angels in with 2 adults- the adults leave them alone but within the group of young angels there has been some nipping, particularly aimed at the smallest in the group (even though they are most from the same batch of fry I raised). Make sure the tank has some cover for the smaller angels to hide from any bullies and be prepared to move the bullied fish (or the bully if he targets more than one). Also make sure you have a big enough tank - crowding can lead to aggression (with 4 angels at least 55g considering they can reach 4-6" body size as adults)
What is the smallest type of angelfish which may work in a community tank?
Do they all grow up to be monsters, or do certain types remain quite small?

there isnt really a smallest type of angelfish, they all can get to be the same size. i have some hiding spots in the tank. im guessing that with angels its a hit or miss kinda thing.
