I wouldnt place more than 4 adult angels (2 pairs) into a 50g, if you wanted you could keep up to 8 juvies but would have to take 4 back once the first two pairs have been formed.

How many Angels in a 55g?

Hi, I have a 47 UG with two angels, I wouldnt consider more than one or two more. I think a tank looks more healthy with two to three large fish and some smaller interesting fish, rather than lots of large fish crammed in. I keep mine with Apistogramma, tetras and a few catfish and all get along fine. If you want small angels, 5 or 6 would be a good number and then allow them to pair off, you could be lucky and get two pairs or just one would be good, you could then trade in the others for rams, apistogramma etc which are colourful and full of character. Angelfish will fight among themselves as they get older so a mated pair is the perfect solution.

If Angels fight when they get older what would you do if you don't have store to trade them back to? Could you just get one angelfish? Or do they need companionship?
