Do people eat angelfish?

Asked by Wiki User

SHARKS

sharks, eels,and any thing bigger than it

Not many things eat a Angelfish. So, I would have to say either a Reef Shark or a Eel would eat an angel fish. An Angelfish is a Consumer, A Reef Shark is a Producer and an Eel is a Consumer too. A Reef Shark would eat an Angelfish because Angelfish are smaller than Reef Sharks. Reef Sharks camouflage with the Coral so Reef Sharks eat angelfish and Prey. Eels are skinny and they get around easily so it's easy to eat Prey for Eels.

Why did your angelfish eggs turn white?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eggs which were not fertilized will turn white, usually within the first day. After that, it is unavoidable that some eggs will die during the development process, but the number can be reduced by maintaining proper water flow over the eggs (if you have removed the eggs from the parents) and treating the water with some fungicide such as MarOxy.

How many guppies can you have 2 angelfish and more fish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is not a good idea. When the angels are fully grown they will consider the guppies nice snacks. If you plan to move the angelfish to a tank with larger fish when they are fully grown, they do make suitable tankmates when small.

What do regal angelfish eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Angelfish usually feed on sponges and tunicates in nature. It can be hard to adjust them to other types of foods. You should always ask what the person you bought them from fed them. They'll normally take fresh chopped meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, marine fish flesh or scallops. There are frozen preparations available that are suitable for angelfishes with this type of specialized diet. Feed 2 to 3 times per day.

Can angelfish and goldfish be kept together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Angel fish (Pterophylum scalare) are one of the most tropical fish coming from the Amazon. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are cold water fish. They both need totally different condtions and water qualities. So the answer is they could live together provided the water is kept warm and pure enough for the Angelfish but they will not do well.
No i wouldn't recommend it.... goldfishes live in cold waters and angel fish live in warm water so that wouldn't really be a good match up

What fish can you keep with angelfish and neon tetra?

User Avatar

Asked by Petspetzandpet

Could a swordtail and angelfish be tank mates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sure you can -- but egg-layers & livebearers generally need different pH water (from each other) and if your angelfish thrives, your livebearers might not. And some swordtails nip fins -- so your angel might not like the pestering ... just sayin'

What fish get along with angelfish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Angelfish grow quite large and can bully, even their own kind. It is wise to buy several youngsters and let them pair off, then keep the pair and sell the others. You shouldn't have any problems with shoaling fish and South American species would include most of the tetra family. Also fish such as pencil fish and head standers, dwarf cichlids and catfish should be fine. The thing to avoid is other species of angelfish (I once had one badly bullied) and fish with exotic flowing fins such as betta. Also do not purchase very small fish such as rasboras (I would stick to all South American species anyway, personally - I think it's more interesting).
