Angel compatibility

[marlin85]

I currently have a annularis angel and was thinking about getting a blue line to add to the tank. The blue line would be smaller, do you think this would be a mistake?

Thanks

Blue rings can be very aggressive. scince its already in the tank I think the blue line would be bullied. I've had 2 blue rings over the lst 5 years. The last one only had 1 eye and still managed to kill a smaller french. They are awsome angels though. Very tough fish. My Queen that was already in my tank was responsible for the missing eye. She lived in the tank for 3 years before trading her off.

How big is the tank.

+1. How big is the tank. A lot of aggression will be reduced in large tanks. On the other hand, a fish that may not otherwise show aggression will in a tank that's too small.

If you have > 250g and 8-foot long, I would say definitely worth a try. Otherwise, I would stick to the one angelfish per tank rule.

Its a 220 6 foot tank. I think im just going to stick to one angel.
