Angel Fish Questions

[catfishblues]

I have a 55 gallon tank that I will soon be setting up. I have been in the hobby for about a year and a half and this will be my fourth tank. I was thinking about what to put in it and thought angels would be a good choice. I have never had angels before but from what I have seen from them is angels fighting each other. Could I keep about four angels in this tank and if I can will they fight? I've read from books and the internet and I've gotten mixed reviews so I thought I'd ask some people who have owned these lovely fish. Any help is greatly appreciated!

about 6 would be better to help disperse aggression and such. I'm not so sure about 4.

Even better! I only asked about for because I wasn't sure if I could keep that many in the tank

55 gallons (assuming it's a standard 4 foot) is perfect for a group of 6. you could also fit in some schooling fish and whatnot.

Yes it is a standard four foot. One book I have told me that less than four would need no less than 75 gallons but I thought that seemed a bit off. Thank you for the help!
