Can I raise baby Angels in a community tank?
NOT VERY LIKELY, or not very many. The tiny fry that are not eaten can be sucked into the gravel or most any other filter systems. Some aquarists report success with reverse flow gravel filters with sponge over the intake, but my advice is NO gravel, unless you're planning to remove the breeding slate after spawning.
But hey, you can watch this for yourself while you make up your mind about becoming a breeder. Try using a partition, and sponge filters in two corners, turning the other filters off. Don't get upset if the eggs get eaten, there will be more in 2-3 weeks.
If you want quick help from the experts, please go to The Angelfish Forum!

Here's a question I get asked a lot: are there any fish that get along particularly well with Angels? In my experience, adult guppies are OK (and their babies make a nice snack)... Cory's are fine. Tetras and Zebras... but that's the limit of my experience mixing 'em, I only keep Angels nowadays. Perhaps someone at a local pet shop can give you better information, and you can pass along what you know right here on this page, to help other aquarists.

From my experience with Angels. I have found that they get along fine with Platies and other adult live bearers. They also get along fine with "Cherry Barbs". Some Tetras do not get along so well with juvenile Angels. Especially ones that have similar patterns as them. For example. My Silver Angels with black stripes were attacked by tetras with the same pattern (commonly known as "Black Tetras").
