Angelfish In A 200L

[panda_cory]

I am getting a 200L tank and cant decide what to get for it.

Volume: approx. 200 Litres
Aquarium Measurements: 100 x 40 x 55 cm

Is this size tank ok for some angelfish?

Also I was hoping to get some neons but as the angelfish get bigger will they try to eat the Neons?

Thanks, Panda_cory.

Anyone know?

Should be fine, yes. Lemon Tetra's work well with Angels.

I did want some lemon tetras, and I take it its a no for the neons and angelfish.

Cardinals would work more so than Neons if you're unsure. Young Angels brought up with Neons will usually be fine.

Why do cardinals work better?

+2 on the lemon tetras with Angels, They look great together. 200L tank will do fine, is it a roma 200 ?

they grow to a larger size and are less likely to be eaten than neons.

 

[minnnt]

They get slightly bigger and chunkier.

Neons and Cardinals don't really shoal, Lemons are pretty good as are Rummynoses.

 

[panda_cory]

Oh ok might ask the maidenhead aquatics by mine to order some for me when I get the tank as they only have neons

 

[justin85]

Thought so from the measurements. I think minnnut suggested cardinals over neons because they are bigger ?

 

[panda_cory]

what about long finned rams and angels?

 

[ZoddyZod]

rams like the hotter end of the tropical temperature range, 28c-30c, but angels should be happy at 28c since they also enjoy warmer waters.....will limit the other fish you can have though as not many will enjoy those high temps.

 

[panda_cory]

how many cardinals would you reccomend would be good for a tank this size leaving room for other species?
