Angel Fish In A 29 Gallon Tank?

[halfbloodprincess]

I have a 29 gallon tank, and I want to get a angel fish. But the thing is I am not sure if the tank is the right size for angel fish.

seems 25g is about the minimum for these fellas. but they are "tall" fish so need depth

Ok, thanks.

29 gallon tanks are 18" tall, i think it would be perfectly fine for an angel fish!

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Yay!

I agree with everyone else... 29 gallon sounds fine I'd say no more than 5 if it's an angel-only tank, or 2 if they're mixed with others. They seem to get nippy when in a tank where there are others and there isn't much swimming space... I had 2 angelfish in a 10 gallon, and they became monsters. Ate all the plants and everything under 2 inches long. Craaaazy guys...

ive got a community tank 29 gal and i have:
6 tetras
4 corrys
2 platys
a verry large angel
then i got a small angel from my friend like 1inch in diameter and it picked on him for a wile then they are fine now so i think 29 gal is perfect. =)

Thats great, thanks!!! I definatly will get a angel fish.

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Does anybody have any ideas on what angel fish to get?

 

[Captain Retardo]

Get whatever one you like best! Just be sure to get Pterophylum Scalare, DO NOT get Pterophylum Altum.

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Ok.
