No prob with adults though. ~~Melissa~~ "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

No, dont just get one, get a couple, while not schoolers per say, they do enjoy company. I would recommend just a group of 3-4. Angelfish will eat any fry so no cautions on gender, as no fry will survive. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

platyfish124 Small Fry Posts: 8 Kudos: 5 Votes: 9 Registered: 24-Aug-2006	Edited by platyfish124 one last question: when can i put in the angelfish considering the bacteria are in the filter as i used some bacteria from my older 20 gallon and i used a lot of cycle to cover the rest? or do i have to put in the platies first cause i am just moving the platies not buying new ones <a href="http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=i_love_cats163"><img src="http://images.neopets.com/creatives/neopets_88x31.gif" width=88 height=31 border=0></a>

crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005	I would put the platies in first since they are pretty hardy and can survive any mini-cycle that might occur. Wait on the angles until the tank is pretty mature. They are very sensitive to adverse conditions and would not appreciate any ammonia or nitrite spike. I lostt my firt angels this way.....my tank simply wasn't ready.....even with Bio-Spira and tons of seed material. Angels need a mature tank.
