kuhli tank mates

[tattooedgemini]

do you think kuhli's and angels can go together? i added my kuhli's to my angels tank and they seem to be really happy. i turned the heater down a little so the temp is tolerable for both...i'm mostly concerned that the angel might try to eat on of the smaller 2" babies.

I have cories, swords and one really evil red-tailed shark with mine. Don't know how angels would do-I'm pretty sure the kuhlis wouldn't care about them, but I gather there's a bit of range in angelfish temperament. I am under the impression that the black ones can be quite evil. This sounds like a Shari question-I think she has both.

I have a pretty laid back Angel and he is fine with the Kuhlies.

I have kept angels with kuhlis without any problems. By babies do you mean that yours are spawning in the tank? If so, anything really small that ventures out could well get snapped up.

I would think it would be fine. The angels would likely be more worried about the khulis predating their eggs.

even a 2" khuli would probably not be at risk from your average angelfish--however, if your angels are huge and aggressive, just make sure there's plenty of hiding places in the substrate for the khulis. Angels prefer the open areas, usually.

thanks all, and no my kuhli's aren't breeding..they are my babies cause i just got them and they are pretty small, i think the smallest is just over an inch or so.... i wish my kuhli's were breeding though..that would be really cool

[shari2]

Lol!

I meant if the Angel's were breeding they'd be worrying about the khuli's eating their eggs. That's the only scenario that I'd think the angel's would go after the corys.

sorry 'bout that!

i only have one angel, but he seems to be hunting my kuhli's so he's gonna have to be moved. yesterday i had a tank break and had to give away most of my loaches, so my beautiful clowns, yo-yos and golden zebras are gone...i was lucky enough to find someone who lived fairly close who had a loach tank set up with enough room for them. i am very sad, but i still have my skunks and kuhli's. now since my display tank is gone, it is time to renovate the tank my kuhli's just moved into...sooo...it's time to start planting their tank. i'm going to go low tech and start by adding some mossimo balls...any suggestions on a good floating plant? I'm also thinking i might like to try breeding them next year, so i want to add more..right now there are 8. i'm thinking of adding another 4 at least.
