can a fully grow angel fish be put in my tank

[fishface33]

a friend of mine brought on his his angel fish who has one eyeball poped out of his socet, can i put him\her (i don't know) in my comunity aquarium where I have 6 tiger barbs, 3 cherry barbs, 3 red eye tetras, and 3 neon tetras, (more to be added later, don't know what yet) I have plenty of room in the aquarium for the fish

what are the dimensions of your tank, not the capacity but the actual measurements. Do you mean to keep this fish just for a while or forever?

space is not a problem my tank is approx 2 feet wide, 2 feet high, and 6 feet long

i wanna know is its gonna be aggressive to my fish?

he is now gonna be called Popeye

when you say one eye ball poped out do you mean a missing eye? or one thats sticking out of its head? if its the second one...i dont recommend putting him in your tank just yet..as he could pass on the disease to other fish in your tank.

the eye is still there but its looking in a different direction hes has been like that for a couple month now

In my experience, tiger barbs and angels don't mix well. My barbs nipped my biggest angel really badly and they had to be seperated. If the angel is unwell (could it have pop-eye or dropsy??) the extra stress would be very bad for it.

lets hope he makes it because im not gonna it in my cichlid tank and hope he survives in there, the tiger barbs are still small and they have plenty of room in the tank
