Angelfish

How many angelfish can live peacefully in a 55 gallon?

That depends on what else you're putting in with them, if you want to let them breed or if you'll move them out when they decide to spawn/pair up and of course on whether the tank's going to be heavily planted etc or not. I would say no more than 3 pairs but fewer is best as, when they breed, they'll get quite nasty.

Id say 6 angels, at the most, i give angels 10 gallons to themselves when i put them in a tank.

Do angels have to live in groups?

 

[Spyderdf]

No angels do not have to live in groups.

i read some where that u could easily fit 15 angels inside a 55 gallon.

That would be way too many for full grown angels. They need space, and 15 angels in a 55 is 3.6 gallons per angel. Which is way cramped

I agree with Spyderdf

If an angelfish was living alone in a 55 gallon what kind of fish could live with it?

It could live with alot of types of fish, what kind did you have in mind?

I keep mine with Keyholes.

 

[Spyderdf]

Ive kept mine with german rams, harlequins, types of loaches, plecos, corys, ottos. but some fish do not get along with them...

what did u have in mind?

 

[wwestar2000]

Im not sure if it was the keyholes or the angels but my cory started to get nips in the fins so I had to put them into my livebearer tank.

Is there a pretty type of tetra that can live an Angel?
