I am no expert, but I have successfully breed angels a few years ago and I had no idea what I was doing then.....now I am trying to start breeding again, and it seems like all I have are problems! But all mine are doing well now.
A lot of people say angels are very aggressive fish....but in my experience, the only fish any of my angels were ever aggressive toward were neons...but I have always had plenty of room in my community tank.

here is a site I found to be very helpful with water parameters....tank sizes and etc....

Hope this helps out!

If you would like to see some of my angels....I have a pic posted here on aquarium pics

Some of my Angelfish



I have a new DD Angel and a Golden Pearlscale I need to take pics of...they are about silver dollar size and sooo pretty!

fks&m,

When you say "black shark" do you mean labeo chrysophekadion?

Black Shark.......

If this is the shark you have then I would NOT place angels in with them!! Black sharks are aggressive fish and may make life miserable for the angels. They can also attain an adult size of 2FT!!!!


I would also not recommend housing them with bettas!! The reason.............

A male betta may mistake it for another male betta (due to their long finnage) and begin fighting with it. Beside a 10 gallon tank is to small for angels.

I have a 55 gallon I was just wondering if I could house them with my betta until I get the 55 set up and that is the picture of my shark and he is quite the little I am dying for these fish My betta is cool I dont think he would harm them I am going to try it and see what happens I am in love with those fish.the 10 gallon tank is just for the time being.

A ten gallon is too small for angels!!!!! A ten gallon is only big enough for the 3 mollies the balas and the black shark will outgrow it real quick (my black went from 2 to 6 inches in about 3 months) unless you are getting a bigger tank (at least 75g) soon i would take the sharks back to the shop.

 

[fish503]

black sharks can grow up to 20 inches and need a 100 gallon tank

 

[cichlidmaster]

I may be missing something here, so I will put it this way..............

Angels and black sharks will not do well together and should not be hosed in the same tank!!!

I would also recommend not housing the black shark with the mollies!!!

Black sharks should only be housed with medium to large fish that can take care of themselves!!!!

Here is the tanks that I have I have 3 ten gallon tanks 1 20 long and 1 55 gallon I think I am going to buy the angels and put them in the 20 long and keep the mollies in the 10 gallon and give the betta one of the ten gallons or I might go buy a 5 gallon for the betta I havent made up my mind yet as to what I am going to do when it comes to the betta but he is my favorite fish so he will get the best but i want him to be happy I would like to put him with something else but those mollies are mean to him they nip his fins he is a list of what fish I have some one tell me which tanks to but them in I have 5 mollies 1 female betta 2 males one of the males is a short fin male 1 black shark 1 red tail shark 1 rainbow shark 2 pleco's so you all tell me where to put what fish

Angels require similar water conditions to discus.. Ie. approx a minimum of 10 gallons per adult angel. They will grow large very quickly!
They will also fight with a betta.. (and if they are adult, win.)
They should not be house with fish that will nip there fins, nor over agressive fish. Personnally, I would get the 55 gallon set up, then house 5-6 angels in it with a shoal of rummy nose (or something of that size). Kribensis can also make a good tank mates for angels.

you are not going to believe this those 2 angel fish are running with the betta those angels are the sweetest things and my betta is to. I can put a mirrow in front of him and he dont even blow up. I think he is on the spoiled side he wants all of my time he thinks i should spend all day looking at him I have had those angels less than 24 hours and they are the same way already. I will keep a watch out on them fish if they start not getting along I will move them I plan on having my 55 up and running within 2 weeks my tanks hasnt all the way cycled yet the nitrites are high and the nitrates are to but the ammonia is down to 0

Oh just a tip.. I would not house angels with any type of small tetras (neons and similar size), simply for the reasons that small tetras are the regular diet for angels in their natural habitat

What size angels are they? If they are juveniles, then you should be ok for a bit. (but watch the betta.) the betta may start nipping the angels fins, or vice a versa. If they are adults, then you are very lucky. Most adult angels become agressive to smaller fish, especially if they pair!

Hope all goes well! But i would still move the angels to the 55 g as soon as it is ready.. (then maybe add another 2-3 angels?)

that only lasted for one night the angel the bigger one started nipping the bettas fins the small one doesnt bother anything I am moving the betta for now until I get the 55 set up and then I am going to buy the betta a 5 gallon tank of his on so nothing wont bother him I just had to have those angels they were so cute and they come straight to me at the pet store.That is how I buy most of my fish I get the friendly ones that shark comes and gets food out of my hands almost all of my fish do that I have pets out of all of them
