So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	I have Glowlights in with a breeding pair of large size Angels, and they have shown absolutely no interest in them, not even in half grown ones.For some reason the blue and red of neons is what triggers them, I have noticed blue and red fish of any species seem to interest angels more, but plain red ones they show no interest in.

jase101 Big Fish Posts: 345 Kudos: 273 Votes: 1 Registered: 06-Jul-2004	i really think it's a personality thing with angels - some like to hunt, some don't...i've kept plenty of angels and only had one who really wanted to stalk smaller fish (of course all angels go for fry, but i'm talking adult prey).

BruceMoomaw Mega Fish Posts: 977 Kudos: 490 Votes: 0 Registered: 31-Dec-2002	One full-grown Angel I was taking care of tried to attack a group of very young Gold Barbs while they were still in the bag. You're simply taking a gamble by keeping Glowlights with them -- but I have never seen any sign that Angels will go after fish as big as Von Rios or Lemons. In short: medium-sized fish yes, little ones no.
