Long story short my mom gave me two full grown angelfish that are a breeding pair….not looking to breed so not worried about the eggs they lay getting eaten, even though it’s mostly them eating them…. But need opinion on which of these two tanks I should put them in. I have 5 tanks but my other 3 are species specific. I can either put them in my dwarf cichlid tank with my various apistogramma, or in a tropical community tank with Rosaline sharks, tiger barbs, and a few types of tetra. Both of those tanks are 75gallon…Most of my tanks I keep on the heavier side of stocking… just curious what y’all think. They have lived in all my tanks actually while moving things around, even became the boss of my Oscar tank lol… anyway, just asking specifically on what you think for their home.

please note: (not being a dick, just what I see in-other’s posts)
-not looking for other fish ideas
-not looking to hear that these fish can’t go together because they have and nothing is definite with fish…. If I told you what’s in my Oscar tank 80% would say that’s a bad idea but they’re thriving.
-not looking to explain my setups or filtration

just simply opinion on which family you’d put them with. I’ve never lost a fish aside from old age and one that died when moving.

thanks for the input
Very respectfully,

I would put them in with the Apistogramma. My Apistogramma stayed mostly in the bottom 1/3 of the tank while the Angel's will occupy the top 1/2 or so.

I’d do the apistos. If I’m not mistaken they have similar needs to angels anyway, and won’t be too boisterous like the barbs would.
