It will harass all and the angels fins will be ripped and the gouramis won't enjoy the constant high sppeds that they will need to keep up getting away from it. Cons are suitable for species tanks or with similar sized (but preferrably bigger) and equally aggressive fish.

Not a single fully grown angelfish would fit in there, let alone four. You shouldn't put in four bristlenose cats, anyway. Here is a better stocking list: 1 bristlenose, the two gouramis, and maybe a school of six corydoras. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

The other owner didn't know what she was doing. I will probably give the angel away when I get back from my vacation. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Not with the convict or the Rainbow, one single in a 20 would be fine. You would be jsut about stocked up, one would be ok. -topher
