    I am planning on getting a shoal of about 3 angelfish for my 100l tank.
    My main concern is that it won't be compatible with my other fish.

    I currently have show guppies, rosy barbs, serpae tetra dwarf rainbowfish and a couple of bottom feeders

    Would they be compatible with these fish in a tank this size?
    I know you generally aren't supposed to keep them with barbs, but I assume mine aren't that bad when it comes to fin nipping because my show guppies are fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Always judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree... especially if it is a mudskipper!

    TBH, 100L isn't that big a tank
    Angels like space - I wouldn't keep them in less than 45L/fish, and even more would be better.
    Also, 3 could be a problem if there is a pair. The odd fish will get bullied, and hasn't got anywhere to escape.

    So I would either just keep 2.
    Or leave the Angels and rather get something like Kribs if you are after some smallish cichlids
