Tankmates

[plantedtank]

Just got a new angelfish and his current tank mates the black skirt tetras are not working out as they keep attacking him. It's a 36 gallon planted tank with the angel fish,rasbora, Cory cats

What about some dwarf neon rainbow fish, I had them & loved them & they never bothered anyone

 

[plantedtank]

How big do they get

 

[shellyx]

Mine were 2inches, really nice colors & active.

 

[plantedtank]

Thanks I will see if my lfs has them

 

[plantedtank]

Do you know any other tetras that would work with angels

 

[shellyx]

Never had Tetras, but the one I like are bleeding hearts they are bigger than neons, the bleeding hearts get to 2.5 inches

I have red eyed in with angelfish, they look cool and are completely harmless towards their tank mates, very hardy too!

There are several good non-nippy tetras that work well with angels. Cardinal and Rummy nose are commonly kept with angels. I have 12 adult angels with a school of 25 Rummy Nose tetras and 25 Cardinal tetras. Lemon and Diamond tetras work well with them as do Congo tetras. But with any tetra species they do best in schools with a minimum of 6.
