Possible, but with meaningful cautions
Adult Angelfish may prey on very small fish or shrimp, even when juveniles appeared peaceful.
Practical response: Use larger-bodied tankmates or accept a meaningful predation risk.

Water parameter overlap
Behavior and space
Tall-bodied cichlids that need vertical room and may prey on very small fish as they mature. Tiny soft-water tetra that looks best in a large school and subdued, mature setups.
A compatibility answer should also consider the actual tank dimensions, number of each fish, filtration, planting and other occupants. Two species can be reasonable together in a long, structured aquarium yet become a poor pairing when compressed into a small footprint.
Common questions
Can Angelfish live with Green Neon Tetra?
The StockingLab verdict is caution: Adult Angelfish may prey on very small fish or shrimp, even when juveniles appeared peaceful.
Do their temperatures overlap?
24–28°C / 75.2–82.4°F shared range.
Should I trust compatibility calculators completely?
No. Individual behavior, sex ratios, breeding condition, aquascape and tank size can change the outcome. Use the result to identify risks, then verify care requirements before purchase.
