The size of the Angelfish does not matter.

Answer 2

Answer I have found that for some reason the black and blue angelfish tend to be far more aggressive than the other varieties. my tank consists on three angelfish, hatchet fish, silver tip tetras, mollies, silver shark loaches, catfish and others including neons, lemon and serpea tetras, guppies, glow light tetras, rummy nose tetra and a few more that are on order. i have seen the angels eat the glow light and neon tetra and any young that the mollies etc have they will eat quite fast. Angelfish can be a little unpleasant with some species in my experience; i have four black veil tails!

I found that housing these beauties with smaller fish does the trick; neons, rainbowfish, smaller barbs, swordtails, danios, platys, and if your tank is large enough bala sharks are very pleasant fish to combine with any community tank.

Do not mix with larger gouramis since they're temperamental (like the angelfish) and do not mix well at all once the angelfish grow in size that will compete with the gourami. ANSWER I have found that fish that are generally peaceful can be kept with angelfish. i have catfish, loaches, lemon tetras and other large tetra in my tank with my angelfish. i would not however recommend that you have fish small like neons in the same tank as i have found from experience that if the angel grows big it will think nothing of having a neon for dinner. very wary of keeping barbs with the angels as some are prone to fin nipping like the tiger barbs
