Angelfish

[fish.com1]

Will angelfish eat lemon tetras when they are fully grown?
how many angelfish (say koi angelfish) need to be ideally kept together?

Nope lemons are nice and deep bodied, its more the streamline fish such as neons/cardinals/guppies etc you need to be carefull of. As far as im aware angels dont strictly need to be kept in groups, i believe its just a prefference All depends on the size of your tank.

So do you think that two koi or silver angelfish should be ok together.
also i'm thinking of adding some gouramies, will they be alright with the angelfish?
My tanks ajuwel 96 litre length 81cm height 36cm, width 31cm.

thanks for the help.

Yes they'll be fine together, gourami's are fine also. What size is the tank?

i do believe the minimum height tank you need for angels is 18inches (40cm) yours will be 'just' to short for them, they grow rather large and need height to accomodate their long fins

Measurements and size of my tank

Juwel rekord 96

96 litres
length - 81cm
height (depth) - 36cm
width (rear to front) - 31cm

81x36x31cm

already 5 lemon tetras in tank

Will the angelfish be ok height wise of the aquarium?
if not are there any type of smaller angelfish?

Thats 14" in depth, most people would say no as angelfish do get quite tall. Wether or not you follow said advice is your call. Good luck.

There is P. leopoldi, but good luck finding one. I've seen them once in my LFS once at the tune of $150 each, which is even more than wild caught altum angels (which are bigger than the common scalare). I know very little about them, except they only get 2-2.5 inches long and have an odd looking up-turned snout.
