Tank mate check
Can Angelfish and Goldfish live together?
Verdict: No
No. Angelfish and Goldfish fail at least one check below, so keep them in separate tanks.
Why
The same temperament, water and known-conflict checks the MyAquaLog compatibility tool runs.
- Semi-aggressive species may stress peaceful fish. Angelfish is rated semi-aggressive, Goldfish peaceful.
- No temperature overlap (76-84°F vs 65-72°F).
- pH overlap 6.5-7.5.
- Goldfish may not be compatible with Angelfish.
- Angelfish sets the floor at 30 gallons on its own. Size up from there for both groups.
