Is Congo tetra and Angel fish in the same tank a good idea? My dad is giving up his tank because he is too poorly to look after it now.
I'm going to take his breeding stock of duplicareas corys and I'm debating taking the Congo tetra (1 male and 5 female) as well. Any advise is much appreciated.
Congo tetra with Angel fish?

They are fine with the rummys and black neons Matt. I'm in 2 minds about it to be honest.

Congos are big tetras so could nip the angels fins, but if they are fine with other tetras then they might be ok. Always a risk though.

Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) are not a great idea with any slow moving Cichlid species.
WARNING - DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE!
