Hidr 4,961 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Other then schooling type fish that you would need 5 or 6 of I really don't have any suggestions. Also would need to know tank size. Good luck Edited May 31, 2012 by Hidr 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey87 3 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) remember... angelfish are more predatory than most people know or want to believe.. best thing to do for angelfish "tank mates" are get some schooling fish that stay away from there end of the tank.. angelfish are usually mid tank swimmers.. meaning you can get guys that are top swimmers or bottom dwellers... good fish i would consider are silver dollars, bigger species of tetras..cory cats, platies. stay away from anything smaller p.s angelfish need alot of space in terms of tank size.. so make sure you dont have a single angel in something like a 10 - 20g tank and are trying to add more fish... setting up disaster. hope this helped Edited June 1, 2012 by Monkey87 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashlee18 1,169 Posted June 1, 2012 I have tons of different fish with my 6 angels, but in order to give advice on tankmates, we do need to know your tank size 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Angelfish50 Posted June 1, 2012 I am going to use a 29 gal for one angelfish and maybe two tank mates. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidr 4,961 Posted June 1, 2012 I don't know of any fish that can be tank mates that are docile and can be kept without a group. Unless maybe some bottom dwellers. Like weather loaches you can keep 2 of those. Or something of that nature. OH you could try a pair of ram's. Just need to get a few and once they pair up re home some of them and have a planted tank. Good luck 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharkbait3 310 Posted June 1, 2012 You have to remember that Angle fish are really cichlids , and because of that they CAN BE territorial, so it's a gamble on tankmates unless you have a proven mating pair, then they should get along fine. Don't do number 3 tho cause the other two will pick on the one. They like to be in #s of 5 or 6. That will take A LARGE tank and they like tall tanks rather than long ones................Good luck. That size tank would be great for a tropical tank BTW !! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
