Compatibility of angelfish with other inhabitants of the aquarium
Angelfish are considered peace loving creatures. But in life it often happens the other way around. These fish carefully guard their territory and do not let anyone in. They often choose their corner near the feeders, and if small fish of other species gape there, the angelfish will simply eat it. Best of all, they get along with catfish, as the latter live near the bottom. Scalarians simply do not have anyone to fight for the territory, as they prefer to swim in the upper and middle parts of the aquarium. As a neighbor to the scalar, you can add a Labe, Petsyli and tetrov. If a pack of scalar is large, they will be divided into pairs in the near future and will sort things out. The strongest couple will take their place near the feeders and will chase the rest. With good care, the scalars live in captivity for at least 10 years, growing to 15 cm in length.
