 | Angels and small fish |
Ferox   Enthusiast Posts: 219 Kudos: 187 Votes: 28 Registered: 19-Dec-2003   | I know Angels are known to eat neons, but what about other small schoolers? Specifically would angels decide to snack on a school of WCMM?I know they're similar in size and shape to neons, but i think they're a bit bigger. The reason i'm asking is that i've got a school of WCMMs, 3 pearl gouramis and a CAE in a 55(US)gal, and thought of adding a couple of angels. <Vet in Training> Blog under development: http://www.nearlydrferox.blogging4life.com/ |

DoctorJ  Big Fish Posts: 344 Kudos: 1159 Votes: 191 Registered: 13-May-2003 | I have angels with WCMMs and for the most part it worked well, but I have witnessed an angel taking out a small one. Make sure your white clouds are full grown!!! |

| Ferox Enthusiast Posts: 219 Kudos: 187 Votes: 28 Registered: 19-Dec-2003 | I'm planning on getting the angels small so i can watch them grow, and i'm pretty sure the minnows are full grown. Would 3 or 4 angels most probably get along? If they paired off i'd move them to another tank (is 20gal the minimum?) <Vet in Training> Blog under development: http://www.nearlydrferox.blogging4life.com/ |

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004 | Depending on the size of your tank, 3-4 young angels would get along swimmingly. If they pair of you would want at least a 25gallon TALL tank for the angels (18 inches or higher). I wouldnt recommend any less than that. My angels were always fine with WCMM, and WCMM are fine in 80-84f water in my experience - they are usually bred and raised in those temps anyway. Aside from neons, I have had no bad experiences with angels and small fish, including glowlights, wcmm, danios, and rummynose tetras.
