Angelfish don't get that big, the reason they don't fit into smaller tanks is the length of their fins. Anyways, you could keep them with any tetras that didn't nip at the angels' fins.

Neons, cardinals, rummynose, black neons, glolites etc etc won't be a problem. The taller bodied fish, serpaes, blacks, von rios and such tend to nibble...

How about some Corydoras, as bottom feeders?. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Yes, cories need to be in shoals of at least six. You've got six pandas on that stocking list, which is fine. Do you know what other fish you want? Instead of another school of fish, you could go with some kind of dwarf pleco. A bristlenose would be great, and they are some of the best algae eaters money can buy. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!
