    i respectfully suggest giving your fish the space to grow to their full size.... since 'angles' can grow quite large, a 2.5 ft tank will be quite a squeeze for them and the other fish eventually. If your tank looks empty, add plants or driftwood.

    I always make it a point not to overstock my tank..
    but having more fishes seem to lessen their agression leh..
    especialy towards same species..say if i have 3 or 4 tetras always end up bickering..but if i have 10 ..different story..
    even dwarf cichlids also like that (i got those dwarf acara) ..put in 3 or 4 all fighting 4 territory ..till nearly to point of exhaustion..put hiding places also no cure..dominant 1 just dominate all..haiz..haha..

    and wif rgds to angels, i used to keep and breed them when younger... so long as dun mix fishes small enuff to be swallowed by them can liao..also avoid those fast fin nippers (eg tiger barbs)
    i kept them with black widows,zebra danios,black neons and serpae tetras last time without any mishaps.
