Would Angels Do Alright?

[schooly20]

Hey there I have a tank that I want to put a pair of Angels in and just wanted to make sure the parameters are okay for the. GH 110, KH 20, pH 7.3, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0, and Ammonia 0.

from what i understand if your worried about ph you should be ok so long as its not constantly changing.

A 0 nitrAte? That is weird. How often do you do water changes and how much? Also, do you use strip or liquid test kits? This should technically be in the New World Cichlid area, but yes, they should do fine. I have mine in a tank with:
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
15 nitrate
8.4 ph
kh and gh no readable

Alright cool, and everything else will be okay?

Alright cool, and everything else will be okay?

Any other fish?

Yes, your regular scalare, tank bred Angelfish will do nicely. There is a 20 gallon minimum for one, for two I wouldn't put them in anything less than a 25 or 29 gallon.


BTW a 0 Nitrate is fairly normal, mine tests 0 also, it has to do with maintenance (high volume water changes) and tap water (depends on the area)...


As stated, these are South American Cichlids.

I have 3 Silver dollars and 4 Yo Yo loaches in the tank as well, its a 65 gal. yeah I know their South American I didnt realize I was in the African cichlid section when I posted this, but hey at least its in a cichlid section and not a catfish section, lol.

The silver Dollars are a No go. They are very active and will stress the angels out. When my aunt had some, they would just swim around the tank very fast and bump into walls. Plus, they will most lekly bully the angel and nip its fins.
