Neons With Angels?

[AshleyT]

iv seen people say that you crnt put the 2 toghther an iv ssen people say you can i havent got any yet but that is the stock i want or are they not a good combo?

 

[techen]

I would not recommend angels with neons, Angels with larger tetras like emperor or congos etc are fine.

 

[AshleyT]

dont congos grow huge i only have a 110 L aslo would a group of 6 corys be ok in their?

 

[techen]

Corys are fine with angels, They wont bug each other.
 
You could get Emperor tetras or cardinal tetras I think

in my opinion it depends on how big the tank is

 

[AshleyT]

i have 2 BNs would they be ok with them aswell

I feel that 110l is a bit small for an angel. Sorry.

 

[AshleyT]

iv heard that will be fine for the size i have ?

In my opinion if you get the angels as juveniles an they grow up with neons present they are less likely to see them as food...
I have angels with neons an they do fine...

Also in one of my local pet shops they have a tank that is under ther counter top it's about 14 foot long an they have bout 1500 neons in the tank with bout 10 medium sized angels the tank looks class..

I think if you keep your angels well feed they will leave them alone...
Sometimes depends on your angels as well they all act different...

Others might have different experiences...

My opinion differs.
 
Ultimately, it's your choice, if you want them in the tank.

I agree, in my fairly limited experience and a bit broader research, as long as you have the angels as juveniles with the neons. The angels are less likely to see the neons as food. It would also help to have a larger number of neons, maybe around 10? But some larger tetras may still be a better idea if you want to be sure.

yeah abet that looks amazing becks haha, i was planning on getting 4 or 5 juves an tryin to get a pair i have another tank to rehome the rest once i have the pair


i aslo tend to do smaller feeds but more a day for e.g insted of feeding once in morning at once at night i do smaller feeds 3 to 4 times a day

A 110ltr tank isn't big enough for 5 angels, I would just go with the tetras with that tank size.
Corys will be fine and I wouldn't feed more than twice a day because they probably wouldn't eat all of the food leading to a build up of decaying matter.
Angels do become quite aggressive, I have kept them successfully in the past with a shoal of neons, but that was in a 700litre tank.
Also if you find a breeding pair they will become aggressive between eachother, they are in the cichlid family so are great parents.

 

[AshleyT]

thanks for the opinions people much helpful an yeah i had a pair of convicts an found out what they was like at protecting haha  


is they anything you would recomend insted of the angels?

 

[Becks1985]

I would maybe instead go with gouramis of some sort cause they seem to go all over the tank an you can get some nicely coloured ones for centre piece fish...
I was gonna say apistogramma cacatoides or agazzi I have them an really like them but they just stay round the bottom of the tank...

I'm actually going tomorrow to get bout 20 more neons to go with the ones I have local fish store is selling them at 45p each...
