You could probably add a bn pleco and a dwarf angel fish.

Really? Great! If i put my glowlights somewhere els, could i get a full size angel?

Watch out for the angel and dwarf angel. They are aggressive, most people don't think about the aggression between angels, but really, it is a lot and I wouldn't add another angel IMO.

Ohhh ok thanks!! Well i was given a dwarf angel so i cant get rid of it!! Haha it sucks i want a real angel

Do you have pics of the dwarf angel? They are pretty uncommon, are you sure that's what it is?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Yea its a dwarf angel. Or micro angel.. Is that the same thing?

I tend to agree with Jeta and Bruins. Dwarf angels, also known as Leopold's angel are rather uncommon, so be sure that is what you have. I also agree that they tend to be pretty feisty, so I personally would not suggest mixing it with a regular angel. I think you would have problems.
Also, most people that I have talked to recommend a bigger tank for both a featherfin and peacock eel, so IMO, I wouldn't suggest getting a bnp along with both of those large bottom dwellers, but maybe somebody else will have a different opinion.

Yea i have been debating getting a bn pleco but my eel is abt 5" and fetger fin is like 2" so i have time haha they both have their own large caves and it seems to be working great so far!

That looks like a regular angel to me, maybe it's just young or stunted.

 

[absolutangel04]

Maybe I am wrong, but it doesn't look like a dwarf angel to me.... They are supposed to have fins shorter than their body length and a black blotch on the middle of the body by the dorsal fin.

But they will grow. They do not stay small forever. Again, thats just my opinion because I have not kept them.

Oh hes pretty big like 3 " but he does have a big black spot on his back!! Right in the middle of his back.. Hha idk hopefully hes a real angel!

No, the spot is supposed to be in the middle of the body up by the dorsal fin, not that tail fin.

Ohhhhh ok... Want another pic?
