Angelfish with other fish

Question
Hi

I've got a realy two good questions. Can I put a Batta with my two Angelfish? Also what fish are great with Angelfish?

Answer
Hi Russel,
 If it is a large tank, e.g., 50 gallons or larger, it might work.  I suspect that in a smaller tank, the angels will not leave the betta alone. I've never tried it, but that would be my guess.

  Catfish are good with angelfish.  Large, fast tetras are good with angelfish.  Smaller tetras like neons might not do very well.
