Cories and angels

[Doraemon82]

Hi guys , early happy new year ! I am quite puzzle with something .. I have a new tank coming 4 x 2.5 x 2.5 .. I am thinking to have angelfishes and comm with cories ... But i know angels need warm water and cories need cold water .. I know many ppl comm them together with no problem .. But just curious it will not bring out their real colour for either right .. Especially if is gold line cories if is warm water ... Give some comments guys !! Thanks

IMO angel fishes dun really need warm water, normal room temp should be ok.
some cories needs cold water but some can adapt to normal rom temp as well.

normal ones are like sterbai,panda,vene are ok with room temp.

i think gold or green lazer cories should need lower temp to survive well.

I'm equally puzzled with yr want. Firstly, are you goanna put heater (warm water) or chiller (cold water)? If none of the above, then just room temperature like ziwei said. Personally would suggest keep it simple, don't waste electricity on any extra equipment for angels/cories. Lightings/backdrops/etc also add to colours of fishes imo. Happy new year to you too!

Im keeping both angels and cories as well. Room temp will do.

But certain cories need colder water.. such as gold lasers.

Sterbai is the most suitable, as they can take warmer water. In fact, they will spawn. In my experience, panda do not do so well in warmer water.
Bronze cories and pepper cories are quite suitable too.
