I currently have 4 2.5 inches bamboo shrimp in my 20 gallon tank. I've been wanting to move them to my Roma 125 (35ish gallons), to give them more space and to enjoy them more. Most of my fish are small and peaceful however I do have a young angelfish and I'm unsure if they would be compatable as I have read a lot of conflicting information. It's still quite small only about 3 inches tall and doesn't bother my small endlers or cherry barbs however I have occasionally seen it chase my twig catfish.
I'm just wondering if anyone has keeping the two species together and if so your experience with them.
 
with a filter feeder like the bamboo's most likely the angel with be an aggressive feeder... to try to keep with the shrimp... if you are prepared to work around the issues, likely the angels will leave the larger bamboo's alone... I just see feeding issues ahead, unless you are prepared to hand feed, or oversee that process

Thank you for the reply. It's good to know that the angel won't bother them. I'm already hand feeding the shrimp so that won't be a issue.
