I seem to be getting a lot of advice that seems to be contadicting.

Are Angel Fish and Gourami's peaceful fish.

The LFS said it would be fine to add a couple of angels to my tank.
Ive currently got, 2 angels, 1 gourmami, 10 neons, 3 rummy nose tetras, 2 corys, two platys, 1 sword tail and 1 bristle nose.

Ive noticed in the last day or so, the Gourami seems to be picking on the two angels... :confused:

Some people are telling me that Angels are aggressive fish and will eat the neons, but they seem to be the ones getting picked on.

My tank is 31g. Have I over stocked my tank, and is this likely to be a terratorial thing? Is it likely to settle down over time, or should I find a new home for the bully?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Never kept either species, but ive seen a few people not recommend keeping angels with neon tetras. Ive also read that angels can become aggresive if they are breeding. Need someone else to back this up here
 
I had 2 angels in a tank and they were fine for over a year then I ended up separating them. Gourami are a very territorial fish usually with just their own kind but there is always exceptions. Your angels might make a snack out of your neons. I know your cories, platy, sword and bristlenose are all safe but I don't know about your rummy noses.
 
i heard that when angels get big enough they will eat neon tetras
i noticed that fish will eat anything if it fits in their mouths
my dwarf gourami does fine with the school of neon tetras i have
 
I have a 2 honey gouramis and one assorted angelfish in my tank with other fishes like swordtails and they are peacefull with each other....

the only aggressions I see is when my red tail shark messes around with my ghost knife but no injuries intended... just a fun chase?

and my fat Tux. female Swordtail chasing the other swordtails... it musta
gotten male genes... but I don't think they are arguing...
 
red tail sharks are aggressive as they get older its only going to get worse for the GK and other fish.
