Hello.
It is my birthday tomorrow and we are going out as a family to buy me some birthday fish. I have a 55 gal. community tank with a 6 or 7 inch common pleco, a big old blue grohmi, a paradise gromhi, 5 silver tipped tetra's and some scattered platys. The tank is about 8 years old - pH 7.5-7.8, gH 3, kH 7, 0 nitrates and trites and 0 ammonia. I had angle fish as a kid and loved them. I can't remember if I have ever had any in my tank now but would love to get them. Do you see any issues or things I need to change before I do? I also have the Aqua Clear 500 (now 110) and am worried about them getting pinned to the siphon tube, is this a concern also? Thanks for your reply.

Silvet Tip Tetra's are a bit nippy & they would nip the Angelfish Fins.
I would get another school of Tetra's & some Corydoras as bottom feeders.
The common Pleco will get bigger & will produce alot of waste.
By the way.............. Happy Birthday.
