Compatibility of angelfish with other inhabitants of the aquarium
Angelfish are considered to be peaceful creatures.But in life, it is often the other way around. These fish carefully guard their territory and do not let anyone in. They often choose their corner near the feeder, and if a small fish of other species gapes there, the angelfish will simply eat it. They get along best with catfish, since the latter live near the bottom. Angelfish simply have no one to fight with for territory, since they prefer to swim in the upper and middle parts of the aquarium. Labeo, pecilia and tetras can be added as neighbors to angelfish. If the school of angelfish is large, they will soon split into pairs and sort things out. The strongest pair will take a place near the feeder and will chase the others. With good care, angelfish live in captivity for at least 10 years, growing up to 15 cm in length. Also interesting:
