10 Great Angelfish Tankmates - Fish to Add to your Angelfish Community Tank

Published 2021-07-09
Hi all,

It has been a while since I did a top 10 tankmates video, and a lot of people have been asking me about angelfish lately.

Hope you enjoy this video of my top 10 angelfish tankmates. I made an effort to not include the 'same old' ones that everyone says.

Cheers.

    I did the rainbow fish recommendation and you are so right. Some people have concerns of them being too darty, but the angelfish donโ€™t seem to mind. They generally donโ€™t even acknowledge the rainbow fishโ€™s existence.

    Great video Blake, and quite excellant timing! I was actually thinking of getting some angels to grow out and possibly breed. Thanks mate๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™‚
  • @jtkeepingfish

  • @craigquinn8225

  • @MrsBJPalmer
    Great list, Blake! Brought several species to my attention! Thanks!

    Great! I feel better about my plans for my next tank. Some people say you shouldn't have a blue acara with angels. I was thinking of one of each, a big school of diamond tetras, and some type of cory.
  • Very helpful. I am in the beginning process of starting to stock my new 75 g tank. I have two young pearl gouramis. 1&1/2" geophagus topajos who is in quarantine tank (showed ick spots and now bulging eye, one more than the other) so do not know if it will make it. I would then like to add a koi angel as another centerpiece fish. I like the idea of the rainbow fish. I love the Denison barbs but man are they fast. Some say they can stress an angel out a bit with their high activity level. I like the idea of an electric blue acara as well. Always appreciate others sharing their experiences so thank you to all:)

    Kribensis are very protective parents and fast swimmers. Anything that gets even remotely close to their fry gets chased off immediately for the first 3 weeks. They will even kill fishes in order to protect their young and they may bite you in the arm if you dare put it in the aquarium when they have fry. I have about 40-50 fry in my 60 gallon aquarium at the moment that are about a month old now and at least 6 tetras are gone so far. Kribensis are peaceful fishes when they don't have fry but they certainly don't fool around when it comes to protecting their fry during the first couple of weeks or until their fry are about 1/2" in size and can fend for themselves.

    Blake baby great video as per usual.... I have a nightmare female golden angelfish called Gertrude, shes bloody awful but I kinda lovd her, she lives in her own big tank, but I feel sorry for her, your video gas given me some great ideas, so ThanQ man.....plus she has white sand, I was wondering if my 3 wee panda Corey would be ok with her and ok with the sand...they are currently residing in a community habitat at the moment with gravel.....take care man..๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
  • I would think kuhli loaches are too fast and all over the place, like corydoras? I just doubled my school of kuhlis to 6 and they spend hours surfing up and down one of the front corners of the 100 gallon, bouncing off whoever gets in their way, lol! I suspect they will go full nocturnal if they get bullied by the 7 angels? I have 3 juvienile electric blue acara and a juvenile geophagus tapajos in my 100, too. That's the combo, I'm really watching closely!! Thanks for a great video!
  • @myst9072
