Okay, I looked up Angelfish on this site - then went to compatability.... Listed were Puffers, Convicts, and Bettas among others.... Yet in various threads I've read where some of those fish listed as tankmates are not acceptable - causing all kinds of problems....... What's the REAL scoop???????

The compatibility chart goes by things like pH and temperature requirements - you have to figure out the best course from there. No, I wouldn't mix angels with any of those fish.

So if that chart is simply used for water compatability - where do you go to find what fish would actually do well together??????? And for that matter, why would you care about the similar water conditions IF you can't put the fish together????? It doesn't make much sense to me.....

Well, it helps a lot of people think of combos they wouldn't normally. But of course you have to take the thing with a grain of salt, use your own knowledge about the fish, and, of course, ask in the forum if you're not sure.
