breeding in a comunity tank

[martin day]

could i breed in a comunity tank with 2 angels and a few neons i havent had my apistos just for the sole purpose of beeding i wanted them because they make a nice addition to my tank but if they did decide to spawn do they turn very aggressive?

Yes, they will breed in a community tank. Just don't expect many fry to survive with all of the predators in the tank. The female will become very protective. I have had a female A. cacatuoides kill a Flame/von Rio tetra that would not keep its nose out of the females brood territory.
