I wouldn't recommend an angel in any of those tanks.

[michellebradford]

what would u suggest?

 

[J4MES]

in the first one you could add some more shrimp and some more neons, the second one is defo full but you could add a few more shrimp.

ihad no intention of addin anything to the second one as im running 2 filters on that already

 

[J4MES]

OK then but it's kinda confusing which one you were talking about.

If the tank is at least 16" high you can keep a few angels in it, though that is the minimum water depth for standard fin angels. 3 adults would fit in there, but the shrimp would eventually get eaten, the neons may suffer the same fate.

I would talk to your lfs, tell them you want to start with 6 angels, want to get a pair, and will be returning 4 of them. I have yet to find any decent lfs that won't go along with this, they know potential breeder size angels sell well. This way you will have two compatable angels.
