Medium Discus
Its best NOT to mix angels with discus, they are fast agressive eaters while discus are slow, angels will dominate the tank.

body size just a little smaller than the palm of your hand, fins make them look bigger i'd say thet reach 4-5 inches body length.
as said above DO NOT MIX WITH DISCUS, the discus will hate it.

Sweet, thanks for the info.
I have 6 foot tank in the garage that the angels will get all to them selves, I actually have a breeding pair of angels now, 2 of them spawned in the comunity tank in the lounge room where the discus will go but they must ate the eggs over night, i might try and breed them if they do it again.
Should they have a tank to them selves if they are spawning like Discus? I have a 2 foot tank aswell, would that be big enough for 2 angels to spawn in and raise fry?

i breed mine in 2 foot tanks they seem fine let them loose 2 or 3 spawns in the community tank though, it helps stop egg eating in the futre.

sweet thanks.
they spawned about 3 weeks ago now but they havent done anything yet, they seem to be cleaning the leaf they laid on b4 but havent done it yet.
they are 2 male angels that are from the same batch when i bought them as babies, they are both fighting each other for the female, should i remove the one that didnt get to fertilise the first time?

I had a male kill all other fish in the tank apart from his partner once - I didn't realise they were about to spawn until I woke up to an empty tank. I moved them to a (deep) two foot tank and they successfully spawned twice before they obviously had a disagreement one night and they killed each other! Took pretty big bites from each other too.
And humans are meant to be a violent race?!

wow!! sounds aggressive, I dont think my angels could kill some of the bigger fish in my tank but its definatly something i will be watching from now on.
the 2 foot tank i have is just a standard size one, you reckon that would be deep enough?

I think it will be fine, I just happened to have one handy
I only had little fish at the time, so probably isn't usually an issue.
