So angelfish won't eat neons?

I for sure I have kept them together for years with no issue IMO angels make great community fish

 

[Bbush]

Tank looks nice by the way. Might look into backdrop to block window light. Do neons school in the top or bottom of tank?

Mid tank for me

 

[Bbush]

I've got some rummies, but they stay @ the bottom mostly.

 

[KendallTraylor]

They r all over the tank

 

[Bbush]

Any draw backs? Fin nippers?

Not really my pair of angels will nip eachother once a while but I have a school of 20 cardinals 20 rummies 20 glowlight danios 10 serpae and 2 rams so strength in numbers

But even when the schools were small agression and nipping was nil to non existent

 

[Convict2161]

Creative tank. Only concern is the light from your windows. I see algae in your future. Ever think about painting the back?

 

[Bbush]

R cardinals sensitive like rummies? Should I get neons? I want something that schools higher up in the tank. Something colorful but easy on my angels.

It depends on the breeder my rummies and cardinals are very hardy and not from a fish farm

 

[Bbush]

Where?

 

[barterking85]

Private breeder they cost more but I never lost one and gave them no special care

 

[Bbush]

Local or do u order them?

Local but if you ask your lfs where they order their fish and then do some research you will find out which would be a better strand of fish

 

[Bbush]

Cool, thanks 4 the tip. I live in Tennessee, and just stopped buying fish from Wally world, so I still have a lot to learn.

 

[Renn1206]

love the tank man not sure if you knew or not but the sharks are going to become aggressive towards each other when they get bigger. and just a thought but black would look amazing as a background and its going to save you a whole heck of a lot from the attack of the algea lol

 

[otmmy]

You tank is beutifull and I love the dragon pieces look bad*ss

 

[KendallTraylor]
