Angel and Tetras

[Ymookie22]

Hi, I currently have 2 Red Eye Tetras and 2 Black Skirt Tetras. I would like to add Angelfish,
Is it possible to house them together in a 55 gallon tank? Thanks

Yes they could be kept together in the same tank. There could be possible problems as they reach maturity and want to pair off. Sometimes they become very aggressive and territorial. There is a huge thread here about breeding Angelfish if that interests you.

Your tetra groups should be increased. I personally am not a fan, and dislike the Red Eye or Lamp Eye Tetras, as they seem to be very nippy and a little aggressive, even in groups, ime. Diamond Tetras or Lemon Tetras or Glowlight Tetras are nice, I especially love the Cardinals, better for lower pH water though. For that matter there are many Tetra options.

Also to consider getting a bunch at the same time as adding in individuals later can cause irritated Angelfish as I have recently experienced.
