Re: [APD] clown loach versus apple snail

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

If the angels are well fed, they will not trouble themselves too much to hunt down the neons, especially if they are used to having them around. Less anxious fry of any kind are more likely candidates for dinner. However, as a rule of thumb, whatever angels can fit in their mouths, they will try to eat. They can be slow and patient stalkers of a potential mouthfull.

I've got 3 angelfish all about 4" in body length and I've had them 6 months.

I've got 10 neon tetras in the tank also and so far not a nibble from a 
Angelfish.

But who knows what tomorrow will bring.

I'm told the trick is to grown them together from an early size.
So I'll watch and wait.
