Gold Angelfish tank mates
Pterophyllum scalare
5 rated pairings from the Gold Angelfish care guide. Compatibility here means water, temperament, tank zone and adult size all line up — the note on each card says why. Gold Angelfish needs at least 30 gallons on its own; every companion adds to that.

German Blue Ram
Mikrogeophagus ramirezi

Similar water parameters and temperament; may show mild aggression during breeding but generally compatible
Neon Tetra
Paracheirodon innesi
10 gal min · 1.5" adult · Peaceful
Small schooling fish that occupy mid-water; avoid very small fry as angelfish may predate them
