Good Choices :) And those Angelfish are beautiful! I'm glad to see you chose 6 of the red eyed tetra. They are a hardy and active tetra that should do well with Angelfish. And it that number you shouldn't have any problems with the red eyed tetras fin nipping ;) Currently I only have 3 Angelfish in my 45 gal because the 4th (young female) was attacking my adult paired Female "Fin". My adult pair are my original two that "lucky for me" turned into a breeding pair. The two younger ones are from their spawn and I have been holding them for a friend for when she gets her 2nd tank setup. The young one I left with my pair (making it 3) is passive so if anything it is my pair that pick on that one, especially when they spawn. But they don't hurt that one and as long as the young one stays on the other side of tank it works for now. In addition, this young passive 3rd Angelfish appears to be slightly handicapped (swim bladder handicapped) but I think it is a genetic handicap and not some disease as this one swims fine when she eats or swims about - it is when resting that she will lay facing up in a funny way and swimming takes a "bit" more effort. I probably will keep this one because of that... and let her live with the pair as long as no one gets hurt and they get along well enough. So you see, it is kind of a crap shoot with Angelfish depending on gender, pairing, predisposed temperament and growing up together. As I mentioned before, I think 3 Angelfish are worth a try, especially in your tall tank, but be prepared for how they settle in as adults together ;) Enjoy your Angelfish! Looking forward to your tank progressing. luv's Kathy
