Is this okay?

[superpeytonm]

Just wondering if you could two Pterophyllum Scalare in a tank together? Will they get aggressive and kill other fish?

What size tank and what fish do you have? Because these are generally peaceful cichlids and will squabble with one another and should be kept in a small group of their own and may eat the small fish in your tank especially tetras if you have them.

I have two in a tank, they may be a pair, but I have had no problems.

Angelfish are best kept in pairs or solo so reduce aggression once they mature.

I keep mine in a community tank. Their mouth is not that big. Once mature they can eat nano fish like rasporas and neons. Not sure about tetras though because of body mass.

Angels really only show aggression when breeding. If you have a good size tank and decent size fish you should be fine. There are always exceptions where people get a little nightmare and it starts killing but that's very uncommon in Angels.

Like penguin said: what size tank is this? Remember, these fish get more tall than they do wide. (6 inches)

Neons are tetras, but there are many genera of tetras. The list if fish they could eat is long, the key is chosing deeper bodied tertas, barbs, and so on, any narrower bodied fish that grow 2" or larger, they are generally safe.

My wording was probably bad but yes I know neons are tetras sorry for that.
