I just bought an Angelfish today for my 10g tank. She's not very big nor are my platy's. I was hoping for some advice if everyone would be happy together or would some bulling go on?

Angel fish need a bigger than a 10G!!! The get pretty big look it up. They should get along good just in bigger tank!! Angels need 20G long IMO or 20H
 
Please do not put the angel in a ten gallon.
One of my big angels is almost as big as my hand (including finnage)
I reccomend at least a 30 gallon for one, or a mated pair

She's really small right now! Don't worry I'm upgrading soon!

Just saying sorry to pester but my friends grew the tank fast (2-3 months as he says) . Just trying to help you and the fishes!
 
No it's no problem, I was just hoping they would get along. But don't worry I'm getting a bigger tank very soon. They'll all have plenty of space.

Yeah dime size. It's a 10 gallon right now. I'll end up getting a 30 gallon within the next week or so.
 
Hello and welcome to AA!!

What size tank are you planning on upgrading to? If you can't get atleast a 29 gal in the near future, I would get rid of the angel. A 40 tall or 55 works even better for them, but I would consider 29 gals the bare minimum for one angel.

EDIT: Nevermind :)
