Do angelfish get along with tiger barbs?

Answer 1

Although they come from different parts of the globe, they can be housed together. Of course you will have to make sure your tank is large enough to hold them. Angelfish (Pterophyllum sp.) grow quite large and 2 fish (a pair) should have at least a 30 gallon tank to themselves. Barbs, (B. tetrazona) although they don't grow very big, are very active fish and need heaps of room. They can also be horrible fin nippers too so give them plenty of live food so they are not encouraged to look upon the angels fins as potential protein snacks. Both species prefer to be kept in groups of at least 5 fish so my suggestion for the right sized tank would be a well planted 6 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft with a good quality power filter.

Answer 2

Absolutely not. Cichlid's are very aggressive and territorial, and will bite and harass a goldfish to death, then pick over the carcass. Also avoid putting goldfish in with Red Pacu's, Silver Dollars, Red, Green, or Brown Discus, and Oscars, unless you intend for the goldfish to be food. The same goes for guppies, mollies, neon tetras, rainbow fish, and any other minnow-like fish.

i really am not sure

Answer 3

Angelfish are semi aggressive fish and don't always get along with other fish. Most commonly they have a peaceful personality and get along with any fish. In my experience I have never had any problems with angelfish picking on other fish

Answer 4
