Anyone here have experience with putting Angels in with the following "Zoo"

- Platy's (Population explosion...)
- Betta
- Dwarf (chain) Loaches
- Kuhli Loaches
- Amano Shrimps
- shoal of adult Cardinal Tetras.

My only concern is probably with the Betta him nipping the angels or vica-versa, otherwise he is very peaceful.

The LFS got in a big batch of juvenile angels about 3 weeks ago and could be going at a good price  Big Smile

edit: Its a trigon 190 (forgot to specify!)

Keeping the platys down is exactly what I had in mind, but not at the expense of the betta!

Oh well just have to wait for a few years! Sad

Not only that I 'rescued' an adult male angel fish from my local LFS as he had been brought back in because he had developed a taste for cardinal tetras!!  :o

So now he is kept in my community tank with nothing smaller than a rainbow fish!  Smile
