Can Angelfish live with Dwarf Emerald Rasbora?
Not recommended
Why
- Angelfish’s mouth is big enough to swallow Dwarf Emerald Rasbora (only 1" long) — it will be eaten.
- Almost no shared temperature: Angelfish wants 78–84°F and Dwarf Emerald Rasbora wants 68–78°F, so only 78°F suits both — too fine a margin to actually hold.
