Angelfish

What litre tank should I have for angelfish?

It's not so much the litreage as the size. Angels need a tank that is at least 18" high and ideally 4ft long. Although 3ft would be ok too.

Depends how many you plan to have and what kind you want as they grow to different sizes. Also what you plan to keep them with unless its going to be a species specific tank but you should look at deep tanks as angels as you will probably have seen get quite deep due to their fins and general size and shape.

My angelfish are 3inches but they are in my 81L community tank. And I'm getting a new tank tomorrow so I need to know quickly.

Like i said in my original post, anything that is 36" long by 18" tall will be ok, but 48" long would be better.

Ok, well I've seen about 20+ aquariums this size which is in my price range so I should have a tank tomorrow for my angelfish. Could I have any other cichlids with angelfish and how many would fit in that tank.

You could have a nice pair of dwarf cichlids such as Bolivian Rams or Apisto's.

The green and Pale/Cream Severums are nice, they get large but are quiet peaceful and can even be housed in a hardy community tank. The red/ orange variety however tend to be aggresive so stay clear of these, most American and New World Rams would be ok but check first to make sure.

The tank you are considering would not be big enough for the Green or Gold Sevs imo. 3ft wouldn't even be big enough for Rotkeils.
