Can you do best fish for a 55 or 125 gallon please
Wouldn't the cherry barbs nip the find of the angels? I had cherry barbs one time that nipped the find completely off of another fish causing it to be unable to swim and die.
Fins not find. Autocorrect is stupid.
@KGTropicals Can you do a video on the penguin 200. I just got back into fish keeping a month ago and love it. You said in a older video you loved the 150 when you got back into fish keeping in 09. I don’t have the 150 but I think the 200 is the new version and it looks way bigger than the 150 in your video.
I put 3 2-3 in Filament Barb Tropical Fish with my large 5inch angle fish is this OK ? Its a 90 gallon tank and there's a medium size pleco ? Been there for 30 min everything seems OK ? Should I mplease and thank you
We have a beautiful angelfish, about 10 inches from the tip of his dorsal to the ends of his pelvic fins (which are over 5 inches). Every fish we had put in with him has been found dead within a week so we just let him live his solitary life. His favorite activity is being hand fed.
Have you tried adding plecos or some other species of catfish? I have some Humbug Catfishes(Platydoras armatus) with my angels and they don't bother each other. They are decently big on size, so you might need a big tank to keep them with big angels, around 35-40 gallons in my opinion, but they will be fine.
My angel loves being hand fed as well
Always exceptions to the rule
10 inches that's huge!
I’ve heard that a large mouth bass would do well with him 😂
10. Cardinal Tetra's
9. Corydoras
8. Plecos
7. Danios
6. Otocinclus
5. Rainbow Fish
4. Rams
3. Harlequin Rasbora
2.Cherry Barbs
1. RummyNose Tetra's
Most of the beginners in the hobby would love to have angelfish in their tank but they always get confused on choosing the perfect tank mates for angelfish, on this amazing video you guys perfectly listed down the well matched tank mates for fresh water angelfish. Bravo Lisa and John :)
DUDE, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LOOOONNGGGGG
saaaaaaaame!!
Aaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaa sassssssmmmmmmeeee
What about Gouramis ?????
Bro chill
Yea
I'm so excited for this video! I just set of a 75 gallon and got angels for it!
how many angelfish did you get for it and what community fish did you get?
Whoa. I literally just looked up this topic last night, as I got a 60 gallon tank before the lockdown started and I was thinking about trying angels for the first time. Thanks for the info!
Really appreciate your videos. I’m just getting into things with a 40 gal tank and your videos have been helping a lot!
Very first fish keeping channel that I watched about a year ago. Thanks for all your work!
Recently i bought six otto's for my tank. I really like their behavior, and when i was watching them i saw some were schooling up with my zebra danios. Almost like they were playing, so cool
Did you have them with an angel? I had a small school of 8 that began to disappear one by one. I suspect they were snacks for either my angels or my electric blue acara. Whoopsie
John you are truly a dork! I cannot thank you guys enough for the stuff you put out!
you listed basically everything that is either in my tank or that I plan on adding so I feel pretty validated
I absolutely love your guys's Channel I have a 55 gallon aquarium with 2 angelfish 5 gold Rams 6 lamp eye tetras 8 Cherry barbs 4 panda Cory 2 bristlenose plecos and 2 clown plecos and everybody seems to begin along just fine I got the Rams like 5 days ago and this is my first time having them and they're getting along just fine they're doing well they're swimming all right they're behaving normally
I love breeding angelfish, it can be tough but they are worth the effort for sure.
Just put together an angle fish tank this past weekend, perfect timing!
Always enjoy your Top Tens, thank you and be safe
You give me so much hope! Not only in my fishing but perhaps my lovelife as well!
I have a few Ram's (2 males and 5 females) in my 200 gallon angel tank and they love chilling in the plants/hidey holes at the bottom of the tank. They go great together.
Literally like two weeks ago I was looking to see if you guys had a video on this exact topic so thank you for this!
Thanks. I am getting ready to put together my first aquarium. 29 gal. you all have been very helpful. thanks again.
Wow yOur video helped me out tremendously! I started a new 40 gal angelfish tank , with a rainbow fish and some danios, and it wasn’t fully complete so I needed to find another perfect tank mate for these guys . Harlequin rasboras!!! I would’ve never thought due to how they can be aggressive over fin nipping, but in a school they’ll just skert around the bottom and balance out the tank.
Very helpful video, I didn’t know what we’re the best but now I do!
Thanks for the tips. Awsome channel!
With so many beautiful and peaceful fresh water fish, I see no need to go salt water. Not hating on salties but a 5 for $15 sale is a no-brainer.
but that colorful anemone tho...
@@syahdwesaprawasa check out the cichlid world, that’s about as close as you’ll ever get to saltwater colors
Thx for the video, now i'm definitely will buy some of rams! I'm in love with them
Considering keeping an angel or maybe two in my new 36 gallon. I'm always excited to see the harlequin rasbora on a tank mate list because I think they're my favorite and I have no idea why 😂
Bit late but 36 is to small for angels
Favorite mix with angels hands down has to be. Altum Angels, Discus, German Rams, and Zebra Plecos. Those all go together perfectly temp, ph, and aggression wise.
Thank You so much for sharing this information!
hell yeah !! 😎😎😍😍
10 things is back again !!🥳🥳🥳🥳
love your contain guys!!😘😘
keep it up!!!😘😘🥰🥰🥰
I’ve had silver dollars with my Angelfish for years. I bought them at about the same time an same size. The silver dollars are active and schooling nicely. They are also fast and hardy so they can stand up to or get away from a more aggressive or spawning angel.
Funny, I’ve noticed very few fish TH-camrs ever talk about silver dollar fish
Thank you so much for this amazing video
Love ur channel and content. Very informative and detailed
I'm so glad this video exists. I just got a new tank today and I wanna make it an angelfish tank once it's cycled and everything and I've been dying trying to come up with tank mates beyond some corys
I've always had Angels and Neons paired and never had an issue with the Angels eating them. The key is have a large group of Neons so none could potentially get picked off with large Angels.
I’ve had angels and discus decimate a group of 30+ cardinal tetras which are bigger then neons. Discus and Angels are not tetra safe.
@@invaderjoshua6280 in YOUR experience. I've never had a problem.
@@quoriwow may be your tank is so big or you angels are not so big
This video was great help thank you sooo much
I also have some pairs of gourami with them! Its so cool to see these beautifull fish together!
How long have they been together, I'm thinking about adding a dwarf gourami to a 75 with two female angels and I'm worried about it's feelers being attacked by the angels.
@@calebblamires8749
I have 3 dwarf gouramis in my 29 they don't bother my Angel at all.
65 gal planted, 2 angels, 1 hill stream loach, 2 panda Corey's, 6 neons, 3 glow light tetras, 4 rummy nose, 4 blood fin tetras, 2 green fire tetras(all the store had left)' 2 dwarf gouramis, and 1 albino bristle nose Pleco which has stayed small. Everyone gets along except once in a while the powder blue gourami will chase the flame gourami away, but not often.
James Burton one suggestion, get 3 more cories (same species) at least. They’ll be more comfortable in your tank.
Corys are to expensive 5 dollars for a fish to much
Hyper raze, I did not give a price for my Corey's. In fact they were $3.99 each, but if you think $5 is too much For a fish you have the wrong hobby. My Philippine blue Angels were $25 each plus $45 shipping. Have a blessed day.
@@jamesburton7298 Yes, I have paid the same for the blues and high orange coverage Koi. Even more for my Discus. But they are all beautiful and worth it! Not only should he get 3-4 more cories he should also get another 4 rummy nose, globe lights and tetras- most of the fish he has would be best kept in groups of 5+. In my planted 55 with my 3 manacapura angels I have a group of 15-18 cardinals and 6 Schwartzi corydoras and it is such a fun tank to watch. Would rather save up and pay more to have amazing fish that are comfortable-after all there was quite an investment in the tank,stand, heater,cannister filter etc
I have a 66g tank with angel fish, 4 of them. Tank mates are cardinals, rummynose tetras, some corys, Albinos and panda corys. A couple of bristle nose plecos. And the latest fish i added was a checkerboard cichlid.
It’s a very peaceful tank I’m happy with it
Thanks guys 🎉
my all time fav!
Thank you!
I have my two angels in a 20 gallon with a pearl gourami. I’ve had them over a year and they are perfect.
Roman Wagner isn’t that kinda overstocked?
Your angels won't grow to their full potential if you leave them in a 20 gal. I breed angels and gave a friend 4 angels that she kept in a 29 gal tank (she does her water changes and feeds well) I kept and grew out another 4 of their siblings in a 75 gal and when she gave back 2 because 2 had paired off and were harassing the other 2, they were have the size of mine that grew out in the 75 gal
I recently got a 40gallon tank and have finished setting it up. It has been cycling for 4 days now. It has heaps of live plants, 2 filters, a heater, sand substrate. I got stuff from a friends filter and put it in my tank to get the beneficial bacteria.
I’m wanting to get 3-5 angels(still researching the size of the tank and what’s appropriate for that) some corydoras, some bristlenoses, and maybe some kuhli loaches and platys
@IvyPlaysRoblox-me1qh I upgraded to a 4ft (55 gal) pretty quickly.
The angels once they grew up were spawning weekly and very happy.
I now have a lot of tanks and fish and work at a specialty aquarium store.
Thank you for this video showcasing fish that go well with angelfish. I have 5 angels on the small to medium size. I now know what to look for at the fish store when choosing tank mates for my angels. 😀🐟🐠
Thanks for watching!!
I’ve found that gouramis larger varieties like opaline and moonlight do very well with angels. I have 2 angels and 2 opaline gouramis and they do amazing togther and both are breeding pairs :)
I have 2 pearls with mine! :)
thanks...watching from cebu, philippines...!
Thank youuu! I wanted to make sure im in the right direction :)
True these are some of the
Most beautiful fish in the hobby a favorite of mine and sure many other people in the hobby 😀 👍🐠🐠🐠🐠
I know this video is 3 y/o, but so full of info! I've had several tanks of Angels but never kept more than 6 at a time in a 50 gal tank. However yes, some angels are unpredictable. I had one that constantly killed any other fish in its tank, even the other angels I got with it. I ended up keeping it by itself. I swear it would dance and get active whenever I approached the tank to feed it. Unfortunately it died after my divorce when I had to jump on a plane and couldn't take it with me. He died about a month after I left😢. But thank you because now when I make my next tank I have now better info and I'm more confident in keeping a nice and healthy tank. Hopefully my next angel fish isn't a serial killer haha
Love this 10 things
so glad you guys put this video out today!! I’m researching about freshwater angels and community tanks for them. Just got a 55 gallon setup & am super excited to set it up! btw I have a small pet channel I’d appreciate any support 😇💛
Ok Lish’s I’ll check you out. Good luck
Boris Buliak thank you so much! :)
@@lishspetlife i love *self promotion*
My first fish was a freshwater angel. I was in 3rd grade when I got him. He lived 10 years. Still my favorite fish.
I had 6 angels for about 10 years, had most of these fish with them at some point, I found smaller fish like tetras, even cardinals would occasionally disappeared when the angels got bigger ... 120 gallon tank so a pair of kribensis and a couple of pairs of rams kept them company ... for cleaning in addition to various corydoras, and a blue eyed demon plec, I had a couple of Clown loaches and few Kuhli loaches
Awesome dude
I love the videos!
I have 4 of these in my 29 gallon and will be soon add an Angel. 3 others are on my wish list. Guess I like common fish.
I just got my fish tank set up! Thanks for the like
Wow. After watching one of MD Fish Tanks videos earlier, I was searching for tank mates for Angels. Here is your video waiting for me when I checked my subscriptions. Thanks for all your helpful info. I'm thinking of a female betta maybe?
Ya!! I set up a 65 gallon tall with loads of plants, manzanita branches specifically for angelfish though I have never had them. I researched like crazy! I found some gorgeous premium blue zebra Angel's on line and decided German Blue and Gold Rams would be a good mix. This video was good affirmation and I totally agree... the rams are my favorite! They are just bad a** enough to stand their ground if they need too. Gorgeous, funny, tough little guys. And yes.... two of my Angel's have paired off and they own the tank... they have spawned once last week and terrorized my tank. I find that behavior hard to stomach... 😢 Guess I need to either get used to it, get another tank 😉 or sell a breeding pair.
Brilliant rasboras worked extremely well with my angelfish and provided great color in the tank. I always worried the neons may be too small.
The Kuhli loach is amazing in groups
Just had Koi Angel fish on my 90L tank
Tank mates, Wild Betta, Dark knight Ram, Panda Cory, Cory pygmy, otocinclus, ember tetra, Green tetra, Harlequin Rasbora, Bristlenose, Balloon Molly, Kuhli loaches
I’m soon to be purchasing a 32.5 gallon tank. I plan on getting an angel fish and some cardinal tetras with a few corys. My main fear is the angel fish being aggressive and killing the other fish. Great video!
I have one sole angel fish with a school of skirt tetras, denison barbs, and one rainbow shark in a 75. They’ll all live happy and get along
You forgot the Glofish Tetras! They get along great so far in my 65 gallon tank with two baby angelfish!
Thanks for the info! I just got two angels and a German blue ram. Looking to add a couple more fish. Informative as always! Thanks guys
Hi! I have
3 Angel Fish
3 Neon Green danios
3 Rainbow danios
2 Yellow danios
3 Cardinal Tetras
2 Colored Tetras
1 Neon tetra
1 pair Redeye Swordtail
I just bought them this afternoon and they are wonderful.
Missing "Tanks of our lives" episodes!
I upgraded my lone angel who was attacking all guppies in my 36 g up to a 100 g which I obtained right before quarantine. Now have 5 angels with sterbai corys, cherry barbs, a Bolivian ram (we lost his girlfriend) and black neon tetras. My Angels are far from “boring sitting in one spot and looking pretty”! They come begging for food every time we walk by and follow us like little puppies. They’re frequently doing some light sparring/nudging with each other (not bad, just interesting) and leave everyone else alone.
PS The initial goal was to have rummynose tertras instead of the cherry barbs...but the angels attacked the bag so mightily when we put it in to float (ignoring the bag of corys!) and seemed to be specifically going after that red head, so we chickened out and put the rummys elsewhere. Anyone else on here successfully keep rummys with angels?
That is my experience with my angles also. They just wait for their daily feeding of frozen shrimp and leave the other fish alone.
Thank you
I have used Black Phantom Tetras and Glass Cat fish and khuli loaches also included Paradise fish and Marble and Silver Hatchet fish.
I had a couple of angel fish a few years back and one of them just bullied every single other fish in the tank. Killed a couple of others before I realised what was he was doing!!! I absolutely love rummy-nose though, almost as much as my bristle nose pleco 😁. Nice top 10 guys 🙏😊
I just got my angles back from my friend this was a perfect timing
Great video. I'm about to do 5 angel and 6 rosaline sharks. 6 guppies and 5 julli cory. Can't wait.
I wait all week for Sunday so I can watch a new top 10
Love my Rummynose!
I think that parrot cichlids are awesome too!
Awww angels r the best! I love mine!
Yeah Angelfish can definitely be agressive. Had one that kept attacking my other Angelfish, luckily my pet store agreed to do a swap. now its much better and the female is even laying eggs
Yeah mine is pretty aggressive. Put a rainbow in with him and it was a battle Royale. He chases even the tetras. I guess I got one of the angry ones lol. On the bright side he’s very active.
Petsmart does swaps?
My pair of koi angels were so aggressive until they killed 4 angels they have reduced their aggression since i added the golden rams it tried to attack them instead the golden ram rammed the angel which 3 times it size😂😂.
DONT WORRY...
BE HAPPY...
WEIRD IS GOOD.
MIAMI FL...
THX FOR YOUR VIDEOS....
I love the background song
Thanks!
Thank you Joe!
Lovely videos
I put the black skirt tetras with the angels - because they are as big a set of jerks as my angels are. I also wouldn't recommend anything smaller than a 55-gallon for angelfish. I've had one for four years now, and he first outgrew his 20-gallon, then the 40-gallon. He's pretty comfy in the 55-gallon now. They're slow growers, but they just don't seem to stop growing. And then there's angel veils with those crazy long fins...
Great video thank you so much.. I have a question... can I put all those together in a 75 gallon tank?
This is the perfect list! Of course my favorite fish (Tiger Barb) wouldn't/shouldn't be on this list, but I do have to mention an additional candidate. A large school of long fin Serpae Tetras looks pretty darn cool too.
Yeah as much as I love Tiger Barbs people would rage if I put them on the list lol
Serpaes are fin nippers i put in my betta tank then they killed it and im not sure about angels
@@yoloitzalex8632 Like many fish described as 'fin nippers', most simply require a group/school to greatly reduce the nipping. Check out KGTropicals "10 Best Tank Mates for Bettas" th-cam.com/video/gxAOSUOjveA/w-d-xo.html
I have 2 baby Angel fish with a make crown tail who is young as well and a sucker fish. They all get along!
I’m planning on using this list for a large community tank. A 55 gallon tank with all ten plus three angels is my goal. I might substitute the plecos for a few nirite snails or zebra loaches.
Definitely need to keep this on my favorites list.
definitely be careful I have 2 angels in a 40 gallon and they have ripped 2 corys in half and killed every small species I have put in there
@@sophiabailey4346
So far my angels haven’t been aggressive. The red tailed shark and two Gourami keep them in check. 👍
Thanks for the advice though. It’s been three months now and they’re doing fine.
@@ironfae good luck!!!
@@sophiabailey4346
Thanks. 👍
Awesome man thank you, I’m just getting back into the hobby and I’ve been thinking about angels but I’m doing a community tank because I want to try something other than chiclids so just trying to find out what I can put with them and this video helped:)
This is precisely the video that I needed. :) 'd love to know if I can keep two different schools in one tank..........
I have 4 angel fish and the tank mates they have are; sword tails, mollies, gouramis, 3 different kinds of tetras, gold barbs, a frog, corydoras, and a doctor fish. They all do well with each other and we haven't had any issues with them like this. It's been like this for 6 months now.
Hope you have a big tank
I have two ( on the larger side) angelfish.I was wondering if could add more angelfish or cichlids? As in( lupingo labidochromis and labidochromis electric )
At 3:30 in the video,what type of fish is that orange one ? One came with my tank with the angelfish ( mine looks white) I know it’s a cichlid .. I just would like to know what type because I’ve never seen one white
I just got 2 angel fish and have them in with my guppies and beta fish all are doing great . Any pointers on care for angel fish
I have some angel fish in my aquarium and they do really well. Also I have some giant Dano’s in there they’re good for the most part except I have one that is very mean to other fish and chases them around the tank my kids named that one snapper.
I love my Ottos!
Great video as always, thanks John and Lisa! How would Angels do with Red Eye Tetras?
I have a 40g with one big angel and six red eyes. They get along great.
@@RedCatHabitat Good to know! Thanks!
Red eye, chocolate and Rummy nose is what my Angel tank has. I removed the few Neons that survived. Those above tetras are unscathed.
I kept an electric blue acara, a school of Colombian tetras, and an angelfish in my 65 gallon tank for many years with no problem at all.
I have a 55gal tank with 2 anjelfish, 3 guppies, 7 zebra danios, 1(very chill) female betta, 1 mystery snail, and 1 ghost shimp.
I set it all up 6 months ago, and everyone is doing well!☺
Thank you! I've been wondering if zebra danios would work!
add more ghost shrimps
Im now making an establised 80 ltr. Tank of native plants like hornwort,some kind of water grass i got from a local pond and some red lillies & some native moss, with local river mangrove root drift wood....just added a pair of longfin german ram..they are doin good...aiming to add half dozen of angels to it next....contacted a local angel breeder...he promised me about half a dozen of his best red head yellow angels....gonna get it next week and let you know how that goes....
i have a new 80gal tank which i plan to put Angels on. i've researched that Angels don't do well on fast currents, so i am asking for your pro tips for what kind of filter should i use on my tank that will not bother the Angels but will do great on cycling the water. :-) thanks
did you ever find out the answer?
All my angels are very active & all over the tank. Going to put Rummynose & & cardinal tetras in with them.
