Planning verdict
incompatibleDo not plan a shared aquarium for this pair. Choose a different tank mate or maintain separate aquariums.
Amano Shrimp and Angelfish receive a not recommended verdict from the current structured assessment. Amano Shrimp is recorded as peaceful with an aggression level of 1/10; Angelfish is recorded as semi-aggressive with an aggression level of 5/10. The recommendation is based on the combined water, space, behavior, grouping, and predation checks below rather than on species names alone.
Amano Shrimp has a recorded temperature range of 64–82°F and pH range of 6.5–7.5. Angelfish is recorded at 76–82°F and pH 6.5–7.5. Their shared planning window is 76–82°F for temperature and 6.5–7.5 for pH. A shared aquarium must stay inside the overlap rather than merely touching each species’ outer tolerance.
Angelfish sets the larger listed base aquarium requirement at 29 gallons; the other listed minimum is 10 gallons. Angelfish is the larger adult by the recorded maximum, reaching 6 inches, compared with 1.5 inches. These figures are starting constraints, not a stocking-capacity calculation, because the complete group sizes and bioload still matter.
Amano Shrimp is a moderate species associated with the bottom zone and moderate flow. Angelfish is calm, uses the mid zone, and has a moderate flow preference. Amano Shrimp should be planned as a group of at least 3, while angelfish does not have a recorded minimum school larger than one. The aquarium must support both social structures without forcing either species into insufficient space.
Amano Shrimp is recorded as a omnivore with easy care, while Angelfish is a omnivore with intermediate care. Their listed preferred tank styles are planted and planted. Feeding access, cover, open swimming room, filtration, and observation should be planned around the more demanding requirement rather than averaged between the two species.
Use these pair-specific boundaries before treating the verdict as an acceptable stocking plan.
