Are Angelfish Suitible In My Tank?

[boblus]

Look at the title descripton for the size of my tank.

Are Angelfish suitible in my tank? I already have two Platies and two Bronze Catfish. Would they bully these fish?

 

[blitztidus]

Your tank is perfectly fine for angels, they won't bully those other fish at all. The only time I get bullying is between other angels when they pair off for breeding.

 

[boblus]

Wahoo! That's great!

Would female Angelfish get pugnacious when breeding though? Would a female be better to have than a male? <-- Man, I love that emoticon.

The tank is;-
Dimensions 61 x 35 x 42cm/24" x 14" x 17
Surface area 0.21 sqm/2.26 sq ft/ inches sq in
Volume 90 l./20 gal. (23.78 US gal.)
Probable volume 81 l./18 gal. (21 US gal.)

Much too small for angels unless you had it just for a pair with seperate grow out tanks for fry.

I had 3 angelfish in my 45 corner tank but one died. But it was being bullied by one of the other angelfish so I think it was killed or died of being harassed. Now I have the 2 left in the tank and I am leaving it that way. It is a tall tank so no upgrading for me, thank god, I have enough tanks. But I do want a 55 gallon for cichlids one day. When I move maybe, it will be in my mom's house she bought for me and my sis to have when she is no longer with us.

OOOPs Calculated wrong SORRY boblus, yeah, I would go at least 30 gallons for a pair, and it would have to be a tall 30 gallon tank

 

[boblus]

Oh no! I've now got some Angels! They're pretty small though.

They will grow. Best to take them back or get another, bigger tank - which could be fun...

 

[blitztidus]

It is fine for now, it is just that the fish can't grow too well in there. PLEASE look into getting a bigger tank, if that isn't possible see if you can return the fish somehow

I would say a minimum tank size for a pair is a bear-bottom 20 gallon..
