Help!! I think i'm overstocked.....

[noelberg]

you're usually ok with neons and angels together only when the angels are bought as small juveniles and raised with the neons, which are too big for a juvenile angel to eat. the angels grow up with the "friends, not food" mentality

the rubbernose pleco will stay small (i doubt he'll get over 4 inches) and i loved mine, rest his soul

at the moment you're not overstocked, but as said before, the angels will likely need moved in the near future.

How are you able to keep Cardinals and angels together, Arent tetras the prime food source for angels, I read somewhere that its not a matter of if they eat them its a matter of when!

Theoretically yes, but I had an angel in with a bunch of tetras for a long time and he left them alone for the most part.

I suppose it also matters on size of the Angel. A massive angel is more likely to eat little tetras or cardinals

I don't know why everyone has problems with angels and neons. I have a 90 gal tank with 6 wild altum angels and a group of about 20 neons and 20 glowlight tetras. I haven't lost one fish yet. Am I lucky? I doubt it.

thanks guys! I feel a little better now... I've been running and checking my tank everychance I get to make sure everyone's ok. lol it's pretty hard to keep track of all 10 cards as they're busy playing about!!

Don't worry.. I will definetly move my angels once they grow too much for this tank... in the meantime I'm working on my hubby to get the second tank. Just have to find that 'perfect' empty spot that's just waiting to be filled!
