Most Angels are just fine with other species as long as the other fish stay out of their breeding area. A single Angel will not have a breeding area, so that is OK.
The fish you list are large enough not to get eaten. Yes, angelfish do recognize their owners and can remember a human face for months or years.
Not only that, but angelfish also develop a bond with their people. For a gallon community tank, keep no more than four adult angelfish with other tank mates. For a gallon tank, start with five or six juvenile angelfish and be prepared to remove some in the future if they get too territorial. Are African cichlids aggressive? Yes, they are very aggressive when it comes to fighting over territories and during mating time.
However, you can make them coexist with other less aggressive species by reducing their aggression to certain levels as discussed above. As with most Tetras, they make great tank mates but you should exercise caution when keeping them with long-finned fish.
Tetras have a tendency to nip at fins. Be sure to provide hours of light each day using a sunlight-mimicking aquarium light. Plants Angelfish love include Java moss, Java fern, and the Amazon sword plant. Avoid duckweed, as it prevents light from coming in. You will need at least 10 gallons per angelfish, and if you have a breeding pair, you will need at least 30 gallons.
This will keep the aggression at a minimum. The substrate is sandy and rocky, and the currents are small. Moderate lighting is OK for these fish, and cichlids enjoy nibbling and hiding on plants such as Java fern, Anubias, and Amazon sword plants. Find out about the different types of cichlid. Your main goal when housing African Cichlids is space. You will want to make sure you have a large, spacious tank as many varieties of African Cichlids get up about 6 inches in length by the time, they reach adulthood.
A gallon tank is necessary for most cichlids, while a gallon tank is required for species that reach 8 inches in adulthood. Depending on the cichlid you have, water current will also be necessary. For many, the current that your water filter generates will be satisfactory, but for other types like the Nigerian Green Cichlid, an air pump or water pump will be needed to recreate the conditions of the wild.
Cichlids like their water hard as that is how it is in the African lakes these fish hail from. Water temps are best at 75 to 85 degrees F. Substrate should consist of rubble and rocks as well as sand. Did you know angelfish and mollies also make great tank mates? Having a good diet for your fish matters for a few reasons.
For starters, you will provide your fish the nutrients they need to live healthy, function, feel satisfied, and ward off injury and illness. Second, a diet with variety gives your fish enrichment and even helps them look their best with healthy color and scales. This fish is ideal for angelfish because it is small in size than the Angelfish but it is big enough to not fit into the mouth of the Angelfish.
Bristlenose Plecos are bottom feeders so they spend most of their time dwelling at the bottom of the aquarium searching for leftover food. And they spend most of their time at the bottom of your aquarium so they will not bother your angelfish. Besides, Bristlenose pleco feeds on the leftover food which will help to keep your aquarium clean. Bolivian Ram Cichlids are very peaceful fish which makes it an ideal tank mate for angelfish tank. And a great way to provide it a lot of hiding places is to include a lot of plants into your aquarium.
These fish is generally live peacefully but they can also get aggressive during the breeding period. They are not good parents and they eat their own offspring so you will not see a lot of offspring.
Generally, it is very difficult to find Keyhole cichlids but if you find them then you should definitely keep them in your aquarium. Now you know the best Angelfish tank mates, you may be wondering what size tank should I get for my angelfish. Well, there are a few factors that come into play while deciding the tank size for your angelfish.
The good news is, that they are also compatible with angelfish. Siamese Algae eaters can become very territorial and some-times aggressive. They like to school, so a minimum of fish should be added to avoid aggressive behavior towards angelfish or other tank mates. Siamese Algae Eaters are mostly herbivore, and they consume algae. Therefore you have to give them a special diet to keep them healthy. Probably the algae that is available in a fish tank is not enough for them to get all the vitamins and minerals they need.
They will not consume the food you feed your angelfish with. You will need to feed the Siamese Algae eaters algae wafers, vegetable based fish food or cocked vegetables. As a rule, avoid keeping Angelfish with fish that like to nip at the fins of other fish like Barbs and some species of Tetras. A notoriously bad companion for Angelfish is the Betta fish.
Bettas have a tendency to attack anything that even slightly resembles them. Another bad combo are Goldfish and Angelfish. For starters, these two have different water temperature preferences Goldfish prefer colder temperatures. However, going beyond the fact that these two cannot be housed together because of environmental differences, Angelfish will prey on your Goldfish, so keeping them together is a no-go. Another bad mix are Angelfish and Shrimp. Although, angelfish can be aggressive, they do really well in community tanks that are not overcrowded.
If the conditions are right, angelfish will also breed, and will lay eggs in community tanks. When they lay eggs, they might get aggressive, because usually, they try to protect their eggs from other fish. You can easily stop their aggression, by removing the eggs. If you are a beginner, angelfish are a great choice for setting up a beautiful community fish tank.
I recommend keeping one or two angelfish in at least a 20 gallon fish tank. In smaller space, angelfish can become very territorial and aggressive towards their tank mates, so choosing the right size aquarium in crucial. I want to buy angelfish from a local breeder. They are beautiful! Was wondering what would be the best aquarium size for 6 angelfish. Also, what type of aquarium filter do you recommend? Hey Caleb! The recommended minimum aquarium size for keeping angelfish is 30 gallons.
A taller aquarium works better for them. Personally, for 6 angelfish I would choose a 40 gallon aquarium, just to provide them with more space. These fish will get pretty big: 6 inches long and around 8 inches tall. As far as filtration, I would recommend the AquaClear 70 check out on Amazon , because it has an adjustable flow rate and it is very effective in filtering big tank. On purpose I did recommend a bigger filter, because it is always better to overfilter than underfilter aquarium water.
This filter is recommended by manufacturer for fish tanks of up to 70 gallons, but in reality does not work like that. In my opinion for 6 angelfish and 40 gallon tank this filter would be perfect. Maybe you should add a sponge to the filter intake. This will also help a bit with the filtration, and will prevent your fish from getting into the filter. I keep 4 angelfish in a 30 gallon aquarium along with some guppies and tetras.
One angelfish rules the entire aquarium. He is so aggressive, that my other 3 angels are staying in one corner, while guppies in the other corner. The tetras will swim around, but I guess only because they are much faster and they swim in school. What do you recommend?
What should I do? How to keep him under control? He becomes more aggressive when I feed them. Is this normal? And now it is getting worst. Any suggestions? Hello Hena!
