Planning verdict
compatibleThis pair is a reasonable starting point when both species receive their required tank size, group size, water conditions, and routine care.
No automatic safety blocker was found.
Angelfish and Corydoras Catfish receive a recommended verdict from the current structured assessment. Angelfish is recorded as semi-aggressive with an aggression level of 5/10; Corydoras Catfish is recorded as peaceful with an aggression level of 1/10. The recommendation is based on the combined water, space, behavior, grouping, and predation checks below rather than on species names alone.
Angelfish has a recorded temperature range of 76–82°F and pH range of 6.5–7.5. Corydoras Catfish is recorded at 72–79°F and pH 6–7.5. Their shared planning window is 76–79°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 20 gallons. Angelfish is the larger adult by the recorded maximum, reaching 6 inches, compared with 3 inches. These figures are starting constraints, not a stocking-capacity calculation, because the complete group sizes and bioload still matter.
Angelfish is a calm species associated with the mid zone and moderate flow. Corydoras Catfish is moderate, uses the bottom zone, and has a moderate flow preference. Angelfish does not have a recorded minimum school larger than one, while corydoras catfish should be planned as a group of at least 6. The aquarium must support both social structures without forcing either species into insufficient space.
Angelfish is recorded as a omnivore with intermediate care, while Corydoras Catfish is a omnivore with easy 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.
