    I personally think having 5 angels in a 2ft is already alot. And having smaller fishes together with them is like providing live feeders to these cichlids

    i believe angel fish will grow to quite a large size doesn't it. usually for planted tanks, or at least 2 ft tanks, go for tetras or rasboras. seldom can you go wrong with these combo.

    Can also consider Boraras Maculatas. Max is about 1" size only.

    I've personally played with the idea of having Angels in a 2ft tank but changed my mind cos they'll grow bigger after awhile, anyway. And a 2ft tank isn't all that big for them to grow properly. I even think it's a bit on the small side, even for Cardinal and RummyNose tetras.

    Go for what juggler's suggested, or something along that size. You'll also have to find out the actual species of your 2 suckermouth catfish, cos they may outgrow the 2ft tank too.

    Cheers!

    ok..... but is it possible that they'll just grow with the tank... like the Lau Han....Also what other fish is there to put in 2ft that doesnt really grow and is nice?
