Angelfish Compatible?

[Guppi32011]

Hey guys, i have a 20 gallon tank stocked with just a few guppies, platys, 2 dwarf gouramis and 1 female opaline gourami. I really want an angelfish do you think it would be possible to have one. It is well planted with lots of hiding spots.

Thanks.

Angelfish need a talk tank because of their tall fins. Unless its a 20g tall, i wouldn't recommend and angelfish for it.

My tank is around 40-50cm tall?

I persoanlly wouldn't do it. Angels can get up to 6 inches from top to bottom. It could potentially deform the fins.

And it will eat the guppies and probably the platys

Not neccessarily. I have 3 angels in a tank with guppy sized tetras and they do just fine.

the guppies and platies will be safe with angels that not the concern here. as DM stated a taller tank is needed for angels as they will get very tall fiah due to their fin shape.

i personally have always found gouramis to be quite nippy fish and angels are a bit of a big target for any fish with a bit of attitude. i know of people that keep the 2 together but my experience keeps me away from having the angel and gourami together.

also your opaline gourami will get to quite a big size and a 20g may be pushing it in time
