This could just be expanded to include all predatory species.

Eventually the angelfish will become large enough to eat the Neons...

"Eventually the angelfish will become large enough to eat the Neons..."

Hence "Adult"

Whatever happens to this change i can make it read something like: "The neon tetra should not be kept with adult angelfish, because the tetras will most likely be eaten. Juevinile angels can be kept with neons but caution should be used and the two species should be seperated as the angels mature"

Ill fix the spelling.

I like this modification, this is a common beginners mistake.

Albeit the observation that small angel fish would not eat Neon Tetras is correct, limiting the statement to "adult" angels is an invitation for people to purchase small ones. But - these will grow up, and then what?

I must agree with Adam here, as eventually they will become large enough. All profiles should be stated as though they were permantly set up, and not just that this and that are OK for short periods of time and such. But this and that are how they are in the wild, or how they are kept in more permant housing situations.

For those who have the experience with fish, they already now that juvenille angels are fine, but the purpose of an educational tool like this is to assume that people are completely ignorant.

Reject
A better wording would be something along the following lines:

"The Neon Tetra should not be kept with any fish species that is large enough to consider it as food, or is likely to grow large enough to consider it as food with the passage of time (e.g., Angelfish)".

If Weird22Person wants to take that as a free gift from me and use that in a revised submission, then this could be a way forward - after all, what matters here is ensuring that the basic information content of the Profiles is correct. While his original submission is factually correct, expansion as above is an improvement upon that submission.

I'm going to vote "reject", but reluctantly so because the guy is making an effort here - he's putting his thinking cap on even if it's not fitting perfectly yet! Hopefully what I've just posted will help him make future submissions that are approved speedily
