	Angelfish tankmates
smantzer Big Fish Posts: 378 Kudos: 347 Votes: 10 Registered: 02-Nov-2004	I confess. I'm just simply a cichlid person. I've tried this whole "community tank" thing, and it bores me. So, I'm getting rid of most of my 55g inhabitants, except for a young peckolitia plec, a mated pair of angels and I'm moving some golden wonder killies. Is it possible for any SA/CA cichlids to go with angels? If not, I'll stop my plans for returning my other fish.

These dwarf cichlids are generally peaceful, and won't bother angels or other such fish. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Firemouths aren't really aggressive per se, but they will easily dominate angelfish and other such peaceful cichlids. Plus, firemouths like their pH somewhat higher than angels do.
