Angelfish in my Tank...

[Ron]

Alright, after much diliberation, I've decided not to get Blood Parrots for my tank. I still want a bigger fish for the 'center piece." I was think angelfish. But I think I've also heard that angel's natural food are tetras. So I take it that if I have angelfish in my tank with my tetras the angels will kill them? Or do they just eat neon tetras? Here's what I have in my tank right now....

8 Corries
8 Black Skirt Tetras
5 Glo-Lite Tetras
2 Lyretail Mollies
2 Pearl Gouramies
1 Wagtail Platy (Want More)

They'll eat any fish that will fit in their mouth. You wont have problems if your glowlites are full size and you buy small angels.

Yeah cometcattle is right a lot of the tetras angelfish will eat are the smaller kinds such as neons.

Alright, thanks you two! Now, how many angel should I get? Keep in mind that I want to get some more of the fish that I have already...

Singly or in pairs.

I would do maybe 3, but I tend to overstock. You might want to post that in chit-chat, you'll get a broader response.

BTW are both of you guys Packer fans?

What are the dimensions of your tank, Ron?

Oh, Fish r great, I didn't notice you are a cheese head as well! Where are you from up in the Northwoods? I have a cottage up in Three Lakes. Of course I'm a Packer Fan, and are you a bears fan? LOL!

It's 48x24x12
