OK befor I got my 3 angle fish I did a little reseach and every where I read said that angelfish are good community tank fish but then I came across a few articles that said they are not good community fish (after i already had got them) because when they are full grown they become agressive. So my question is can should I keep them in my tank? I have 35 gallon tall tank with 3 gold lyre tail mollies 3 sword tails 3 apple snails 1 pelco a few ghost shrimp and like 20 fry mostly under 3/4''. The tank also has a few plants in it, dont kno if it makes a difference. Also im going to take the lil fish to a fish shop when they get a little bit bigger they dont want to take them yet.

Getting only 3 angels can be dangerous, especially if two of them pair up but I don't think you could keep more than 4 at tops in that tank... and cause of the fact that they can pair up and be mean I'd suggest to get 5 which you don't have room for... Although with only 3 they might not pair up and you'll be fine... Your fry will most likely be eaten by them, but I'm guessing you'd rather have the angels than the fry. I think the other fish should be fine...

one of my apple snail laided eggs but the first batch dryed up and the second batch is still in there, its been there about two weeks I read that after 4 weeks if nothing hatches there is a good chance nothing will.
I only got 3 angles because the the first store only had 2 that i like and the other store only had one that i like i would like to get one more to have a totle of 4. But now that that I got a silver zebra angel (at least that what it looks like) i dont really like the marble angel because one is more black then white and the other is more white then black
