15 Best Angelfish Tank Mates are covered in this video. We all know that Angelfish are pretty, but don't let that fool you. They can be bullied in a community tank with the wrong mix of species.
However, if you put another aggressive fish in your tank, your angels could become the victim, just like all bullies.
Because of this Choosing, the best tank mates can be kind of stressful, especially if you're not sure that they will all get along. I've decided to put this list of angelfish tankmates together, so sit back and learn about 15 of the best angelfish tank mates.
So today, in this video, we will learn about 15 species you can add to your angelfish tank. But before going to the list of angelfish tank mates, we should consider some parameters before choosing any fish from this list.

I had gourami with mine. It was bullying the angelfish but then the angel fish out grew it and the angelfish got revenge.

Most of the beginners in the hobby would love to have angelfish in their tank but they always get confused on choosing the perfect tank mates for angelfish, on this amazing video you guys perfectly listed down the well matched tank mates for fresh water angelfish.

I’ve always had success combining angelfish with blue gouramis, as well as larger tetras like black skirt tetras. They do well with live-bearers like platies, too. For a semi-aggressive cichlid tank mate (like angels), you can combine them with blue acara and festivum.

I have a cichlid tank now but once they go which I’ve had them for almost 3 years but I’m thinking my next setup will maybe 4 angel fish and 20 neon tetras in my 55 gallon tank and hopefully some shrimp would this work?

@AquariumStoreDepot Жыл бұрын

It is possible to keep 4 angel fish and 20 neon tetras in a 55-gallon tank, but there are a few things to consider. Angel fish can grow quite large, so it's important to make sure that you have a tank that is big enough to accommodate them as they grow. Also, they can be aggressive fish, so you will need to make sure that the neon tetras are not too small when you introduce them to the tank, as the angel fish may bully them. Another thing to consider is the water chemistry, angelfish are native to South America and require similar water conditions as tetras, but they are sensitive to water parameters, so you will need to make sure that the water chemistry is appropriate for both species. Finally, it's worth noting that shrimp may not be the best option for this tank as they are also small and may become food for the angelfish. Overall, it is possible to keep these fish together in a 55-gallon tank, but it will require careful planning and monitoring to ensure that the tank is set up and maintained properly.

This video is obviously for new hobbyists and it is so misleading... I can't believe so many nano fish ends up in the recommendation list of Angelfish tankmates... Basically it's asking for trouble when Angels grow up. So many new hobbyists following this list will break their hearts when their nano fish get swallowed by the Angels.

Certain ones yes. The black skirt tetras or corydoras glofish will work. You need a big enough tank though. I’ve seen them do well in a 4 foot long tank with black skirts. I wouldn’t attempt in anything smaller than 3 feet. Better luck if you have a planted tank.

All fish have can have different temperaments. There is a big display tank that green aqua made with a bunch of black skirts with angelfish. I agree with you it’s not for beginners. I would say angelfish aren’t beginner fish due to their temperament

This is so misleading. Putting adult angelfish with anything smaller than 2 inches is a HUGE risk! That includes quite a few recommendations in this video: cardinal tetra, otocinclus, cherry barbs... and maybe more. It depends on so many unforeseeable factors that your adult angel won't eat them, even when they're raised up together. A lot of times it's pure luck, hit or miss. Yes some hobbyists might have success keeping them together, but they should NEVER be a recommended to be put together IMO. A lot of new hobbyists following this list will have a very bad experience and this affects the entire hobby.

This is a hotly debated topic and one I should have touched on more. For smaller fist you need a big school and a larger tank. Here are some discussions that explain the rationale: www.plantedtank.net/threads/tetra-and-angel.205593/ www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/angelfish-with-neon-tetras-gouramis.261460/

@@AquariumStoreDepot This is exactly my point: You need A TON of variables work in your way to maintain peace between full grown Angelfish and smaller tankmates: tank size, decor, school size, temperature, feeding... AND STILL, there is no guarantee these combination will work even if you do EVERYTHING right. Therefore, this should not be a recommended combination, especially for beginners.
