Angel Fish - And Air Bricks

[themeis]

can someone tell me do angels dis-like fast air bubbles coming up from an air brick , its in a 6ft columb aquarium and im sure i heard somewhere they are not keen on it etc... so before i buy a new air pump any ideas ?

I have sponge filters in most of my angel tanks, which means air bubbles. It doesn't seem to bother them at all. Just don't overdo it, angels tend to dislike too much water turbulance. An aquarium that tall would probably need something like that to keep the water circulating. Post some pics, I'd like to see some angels in a tank that tall.

If you mean your tank is 6ft high then no angel (or any other fish) will like that.......how wide is it?

That is a deep tank, and your stocking will depend more on surface area than gallons per fish or the dippy inch per gallon rule. I've seen fish in tanks 6 feet and deeper in public aquariums, the difference being your surface area.

i think 72" water hight, 79" overall height, 19" diameter.

With that little surface, you could get 1 angel with a few other fish, or 2 if they were the only fish in there. That has the same surface area as a 20 tall, I would stock it like a 20 tall.
