You've got a potential problem with the angels and small fish. Angels are known to eat neons ... and guppies aren't much different than a neon.

I depends on your angel, I've kept small fish with my koi angelfish for a couple of years now and have had no problems because mine is very quiet and peaceful. It may be a very different story when you have your together!

I agree that it does depend on the angelfish, but it is a risk if u do decide to do it, as many people have found that problem. If you do try and risk it, if the neons and angel(s?) are added at the same time they may get used to eachother and be fine (more likely if u buy juvinial angel(s) who are prolly too small to eat neons anyways, and when they grow they may just be good ol friends and leave them alone)

yes it is possable and proven so.

Adding the angels when they are juviniles also helps, mine was about an inch when I added mine. I also don't have standard neons in my tank, I've got the jumbo neons so they are probably better to have with angels...

dont get the neons as i THINK they will be eattin

 

[Yetti]

What kind of Rainbows? Two Rainbowfish are not enough, you need three to four minimal. If you scrap the neon idea, then you could go for 6 or so dwarf neon Rainbows, they look even better than neons.

You can get the neons if you want. The angel you've already got what size is it and does it seem peaceful towards the other fish currently in the tank with it??

 

[jakeroberts]

well the angel fish i have has always grown up with neon tetres and is very peaceful so if i scrape the rainbows of my list and get some more bronze corys can you tell me if my list sounds overstocked
