Compatability Query

[-germ-]

I have 3 hillstream loaches (?), 2 honey gourami (m), 2 dwarf gourami (f) and one gold angel (?).
Are white cloud minnows (is that the name?) compatible with all these species?
I'm guessing they'd be good with the loaches, but i'm worried about the angel.
I'm hoping to add them while she's still young so she can get used to them.
Gourami's i think'll be ok but worth checking.
I know they have specific tank condition needs (as do the loaches) but i'm not looking at adding them right away but re-organising my 18 gal tank and my 5 gal in the near future....
Looking for something active to probably replace the 2 dwarves (and maybe 1 loach), that won't get huge and/or run the risk of ending up as angel food.

white cloud mountain minnows are just a bit bigger than neons so i'm not sure if the angels would eat them, how big are your angels?

Besides the problem of fully grown angels eating smaller fish, you may want to reconsider the hillstream loaches and minnows as they prefer cooler temperatures, 65-75F where angels prefer the upper 70s and lower 80s. Gouramis can go either way as they tend to do fine in the mid to lower 70's and low 80's.

If you could reorganize tanks to get one at cooler temperatures for the loaches and minnows, that would work out very well. Especially in the case of the loaches, the cooler faster moving waters in the wild provide a higher oxygen content, you'll want to keep the tank very well aerated if you've got them at higher temperatures.
