Angels tend to be pretty delicate - especially when it comes to having good water quality.

They would be compatible with any but the goldfish - goldfish are a coldwater species, and ideally they should be kept in water where the temperature is less than 70 degrees. All the others are tropicals, and should have a heater to make sure their temperature is at least 76o, if not higher (the angels would take even more heat, into the 80o range).

Also, be sure you have a large enough tank to keep angels - they're often sold as juveniles when they're the size of a quarter, but keep in mind they'll get to be over 6", and should have at least a 30 gallon for a pair.

Whether or not you should get angelfish all depends on the size of the tank you are working with. The angelfish you see in pet stores are usually very young, but adults will grow to around 6" tip to tip, longer for veiltail varieties, so they need at least a 25-30g aquarium. As for your current list of tank mates, everything is fine but the goldfish. Goldfish are cold water fish, not too mention dirty, and should not be kept with anything other than goldfish.

To address the delicacy issue, I find angelfish to be quite hardy once they have settled into a tank. Angelfish do not like to be moved around or messed with as this tends to really stress them out, so for the first couple of weeks after you bring them home they are going to be a little delicate. Try to feed them high quality foods (frozen or live is always best), and keep the water extra clean to help the adjust properly. You will find though that after this initial acclimatization phase is over they are pretty hardy. Good Luck.

in maximum circumstances sure yet that easily relies upon on the dimensions of the gourami and angelfish if the gourami are extra advantageous they are going to kill the angelfish, the blue/opaline gourami while they get extra advantageous are exspecially aggressive. I wouldnt reccomend putting in toddler angelfish with them in any respect, you're able to ought to purchase the meduim to vast sized angelfish, which could be very exspensive. Being which you have a fifty 5 gallon tank while you're clever along with your choise in length of angelfish you would be ok.

mollys and giant danios are fine -- goldfish are not fine. mollies would prefer some salt in their water. angelfish are salt sensitive.

i think midsized gouramis like pearl, blue, gold, platinum, snakeskin, opalescent are the best match for angels.

they are inbetween delicate and strong. they dont' transport well and they dont' like to be moved around (even for cleaning). i think because they are tall they have sensitive equilibrium systems. most of them do loopy cartwheel things like their equilibrium has gone out and they can't hold themselves up anymore before they die.

ok the biggest problem is heat the dainos should be fine but the angels like warmer water and gold fish like room temp to cooler water also angels can be fin nippers and probably rip your gold fishes fins to ribbons angels are kinda delicate plus your mollies and gold fish like a slightly brackish water which the angels might not like so much
