Hi longer,

If you're interested in information on hong-kong plecos then you need to look up Hillstream Loaches :)

Here's a link Loaches Online


There's a lot of information on the site about keeping them, but I would think that the temperature they need would be too low for Angelfish. Having said that I did keep a hillstream loach in my tropical tank for about 2 months but only until I could catch him and transfer him to the goldfish tank - he was too bolshy for the tropicals and kept attacking them. He's really scared of the goldies and leaves them alone ( It was a size thing!!)

Hope this helps
Regards
Paule
 
What size tank? Bristlenoses might be your best bet for an Angel tank, but, if it's too small, there are no Plecs that I would really recommend for the tank, as Ottos are too small to be kept with Angels!
