What size do you think is the min for keeping small angelfish in and also will they be aggressive to my mollys and catfish???? thanks :nod: :* :look: :alien: B)
 
minimum i would say is a 20 gallon tall at least 18" high.....and no angels are normally not agressive, when they are spawning and laid eggs then it might be a different story, since they are cichlids too.....
 
I'd say a "Standard" 55 gallon that is like 20 in. tall and 4 feet in length.

But then again, I usually do over kill for space size for my fish.
 
This is a chart I copied off of some web site quite a while ago, don't remember which, so I can't give credit where it is due;

Newly free swimming fry 40 fry per gallon
Two week old fry 20 fry per gallon
Month old fry 10 fry per gallon
Pea size bodies 3 fish per gallon
Dime size bodies 2 fish per gallon
Nickel size bodies 1 fish per gallon
Quarter size bodies 1 fish per 2 gallons
Silver Dollar size bodies 1 fish per 3 gallons
Potential breeders 1 fish per 5 gallons
Show Specimens 1 fish per 10 gallons
One breeding pair 20 gallon high tank

I keep a small plec & corys in with breeding pairs, there is no aggression aimed towards them. With the mollys, if the angels pair up, they may think it looks like another angel & act accordingly.
