Question
I have a 60 gallon freshwater tank that I want to put Angelfish in. What types of fish would go with Angels?
Hi AspenWolfe
Angels should be kept in groups of at least 4 and should be the primary fish in the tank. I have an Angelfish tank that consists of 7 Angels, 1 Keyhole Cichlid, 1 Blue Gourami, 4 Congo Tetras, 2 Black Tetras, 3 Black Mollies, 2 Swordtails, 1 Redtail Shark, 2 Kribensis Cichlids, and 3 Cory Cats.
Other fish that will go well in an Angelfish tank are Cherry Barbs, most large Gouramis, large Tetras, Platys, Jurapari Cichlid, Danios, Dojo Loach, Bala Shark, Synodontis Catfish.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Expertise
I own and maintain several freshwater aquariums from 2 to 180 gallon. I can answer most questions about freshwater aquariums, including setup, cycling, maintenance, compatible tank mates, feeding. Moving? I've moved fish both across town and across the country and can help you get your little aquatic friends to their new home safely. I know and have experience with most freshwater community fish, South American Cichlids and African Cichlids. If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll do research to find the best answer for you. I don't answer questions about Goldfish or keeping Goldfish with Tropical Fish. I also don't answer questions about keeping crustaceans (shrimp, snails, crabs etc) with Tropical Fish, nor questions about saltwater fish or aquariums. I'm not available to answer questions on weekends, this is when I do maintenance on my own tanks.
Experience
Many years of personal experience with community tank fish, semi-aggressive fish (Barbs, Tetras, etc), Angels, South American Cichlids and African Cichlids.
