The compatibility database at Tim's is set up intentionally to be conservative.
If there's a slight chance two types of fish won't get along, we don't list them as compatible.
This could be based on aggression but also on more subtle factors, such as the fact that many tetras get stressed by other fast moving fish even though they aren't being attacked.
It's is a challenging task to create a compatibility database and there are always individuals who have a different experience in their community tanks.
For example, 50% of our readers say that angels and discus are compatible and the others disagree. So these two don't show as compatible in the database.
You only get further clarification by reading our specific info on angels
The sources of information for creating the database include personal experience, forum postings on our site, emails received from readers and a review of as many internet sites as possible.
We continually accept suggestions for improvement to the table. Be sure to check the Gallery section and also do a search in the Discussion Forum in order to get better insight.
