Angel Fish & Guppies

[Lord Fishheart]

Has anybody had any bad experiences with mixing together Angel Fish and Guppies in a community tank?

I wouldn't try it with adult angels. It might just work if you get the Angels when they are young and very small, but if you add guppies to a tank with larger or adult angels there is a chance some of your guppies may end up as a snack.

I haven't personally but people do. Guppies will nip the fins of the angel fish, and the angel fish may even try to eat the gups. In the wild angelfish eat neon teras, and their similar size to guppies so i wouldn't reccomend it, although im not saying it won't work.

tried once. the only thing that got the guppies was that they went up the filter.

i have in the past, got very young angels and adult/juvi guppies and they were fine had neons too, but as the angels grew the neons started to disappear so moved all the smaller fish out
