Please contemplate further on balas. They will not suit most average private aquaria and are better off in a public aquaria.

Nix the red tails. Balas are rather hard to keep. Try rasboras, rainbows, or maybe danios. Dwarf cichkids are also a good choice for angels as are festivums.
Agree on the RTS, they tend to be quite aggressive. Rasboras, Rainbows & Danios would be a good choice as they tend to be fairly placid. I would avoid African cichlids, but the South American Cichlids such as Geophagus, Apistogrammas, and such are relatively safe with Angels.


herefishy: Can you please clarify Balas as being hard to keep? I know they tend to get quite large (some reports up to 16"), but I've read that they are pretty hearty.
