As I'm reading the December issue of TFH magazine I noticed a photo of a tank with angels and tiger barbs. Page 70, just wondering if anyone else noticed. I have always been told its a no-no.
 
It's hit our miss. I've housed tigers with angels with no problems, but we've also always added the tigers after the angels have had a change to grow some, and when the tigers were fairly small.
 
It's not something I would do. I've kept angels since the 80's and have found it just not worth the risk or trouble of trying to keep known nippers with angels. Yes, sometimes it can work but more often than not it doesn't and it's the angels fins that pay the price. JMO
 
Seems like a recipe for disaster, you'd be betting on being the exception to the rule which is always brave.
