Angel fish

Can anyone give me a rough idea how quickly angelfish grow? I've just bought a couple of new small ones Very cute!

Pretty quick - like most cichlids. They grow quickest when young then slow down as they reach maturity. I'm not sure whether you have any, but I thought I'd point out they'll eat small tetras and the like at adulthood so be prepaired.

At 2 months old they are around dime size; 4 months, quarter to half dollar; 6 months, a bit bigger than half dollar; by 1 year they are bigger than silver dollar body size. With regular water changes & a good diet they grow pretty quickly.

I'm not quite sure on the sizes as i'm not very familiar with US coins, but the larger of the two is probably about an inch in diameter. I do have guppies at he moment, but will move them if I still have some when the angels begin to get bigger

A half-dollar is about an inch or so in diameter... If silver dollar reffers to the fish you don't need to know about coin sizes...
