Planner result: Not recommended. The recommended temperature ranges do not overlap. Species-specific care guidance does not recommend this combination.
Their planner ranges do not overlap (Freshwater Angelfish: 26~29°C, pH 6.3~7.4; Celestial Pearl Danio: 21~25°C, pH 6.6~7.4), so one of them would be kept outside its recommended range.
At least 200 L and about 100 cm long, the larger of the two minimums (Freshwater Angelfish: 200 L, Celestial Pearl Danio: 41 L). Group sizes add to the bioload, so bigger is safer.
