i keep my angels on their own mine are already a pair and get very territorial when it comes to breeding, don't know if you read my thread about my angels recently raising some young to fry but they ate them as soon as my pleco cleaned the statue they laid on

so from my experience if your hoping for them to pair up and breed then you can't keep anything in with them and avoid going near them yourself when they are ready to breed and raising their fry

if i was to describe angels they are the neurotic's of the fish world,

anyone after a breeding pair of angels?

yeah, congos are ugly ducklings at first... but those big males with their flowing fins and iridescence are dramatic... especially in a darkened tank with quality light... it really shows them off...

one of my favorite fish... but i'm partial to tetras...

Thanks for the advice, what sort of numbers would you reccomend? The aqauarium is 32" x 16" x 14" (W x H x D) which is around 115 litres.

If I'm looking at a pair of Bolivian Rams and a group of Angelfish and maybe Congo Tetras. What size groups of Angelfish and Congo Tetras would be reccomended?
