Fish Option: Yes Or No

[Gazo]

Hi guys.
I've been offered 2 Altum Angelfish (7" and 5"), but I'm undecided as to whether to take up the option and add them to my tank (see signature for details).
Can anyone offer any sound advice.
From what I've been told so far the Corys should be ok, tetras are reasonable sizes so not too bad if Angels don't get terratorial and I have no idea about the Guppys.
Anyway look forward to your advice guys.
Cheers,
Gazo

no, altum angelfish get 12" tall, they need an especially tall tank

good article here

I do know they can get really tall Miss Wiggle, thanks.
I can get a new tank sorted no problem, it was more a case of the fish that are already in there being ok with them until I get a new tank sorted.
Sorry for confusion.
Cheers.

ah ok, you just said to add to your current tank which is a no go, but in a new tank it's a different matter

personally i would not risk them with small fish like tetra's and guppies, likely to become a snack
