Angel Fish

[Luke_e]

Hello, i have a 125ltr/27.5 uk gallon/33 us gallon tank with (see signature for fish/other)

I think i am close to stocking, if not stocked, but i was wondering if i would be able to home an angel fish, or is my tank too small (following dimensions)
81L x 50H x 36W cm/
31L x 20H x14W inch/
2.6L x 1.6H x 1.1W foot

If anyone thinks i would be able to keep an angel fish, could you please let me know, and i'll start up on some research for them.

Thank you.
EDIT: Also, just a pointer is it ok to keep one angel fish on its own, and is it best to keep a male/female on its own, (i'd rather the smaller of the sex).

Bump, sorry i'm being impatient (only waited 45mins) but if someone knows i'd appreciate it.

i might be wrong but i think your neons would be in danger of being eaten

 

[Luke_e]

I just read that they may be eaten , is there a small angel fish that wouldnt pose a danger?

 

[Durbkat]

Yep your right those neon tetras and possibly x-ray tetras will be a good little snack for the angel fish and those black tetras will nip the long fins on the angels.

it will start small then grow sadly! you really instead ought to add say 3 more danios and 2 more cories as they are shoalers

 

[Luke_e]

So would you recomend me not getting one, as i'd rather not have one if it would be stressed in my tank, and i dont want it eating my other fish.

Angel fish really need a 30gal, but i suppose it would be fine, yes angel fish hunt neon tetra's in the wild.

 

[Luke_e]

Hmm, so other than it eating my neon tetra's would there be any other complications with my other fish? Also, are the tank dimensions suitable?
Thank you.

Just looked at your stock you are already fully stocked, so it's up to you, but i wouldn't add anything else, and if it's a juwel tank i would add another filter , plus the angel might nip the phanton tetras tails.

i d say dont go with it its going to cause problems

Ok, i wont buy one, and why would i need to add another filter? It seems to be doing fine.

Ok, cheers for the advice.

 

[WILDER]

I agree actually, i too think it will cause more problems than it's worth.

 

[lozzles]

i have the same juwel as u and have no problems with the filter

 

[WILDER]

There filters are not that good, and soon get blocked, always best to over filter, and even better if you are sligtly overstocked.
