Do You Think I Should Get Angels

[black molly3]

my lfs has very small angels about just over an inch. i have done some reaserch and they can grow
quite big ive heared. anyway this is my stocking.
2 golden panchax's, 2 clown loach's, 1 cory, 1 BBG, 1 american flag fish in a 12.5 GAL.
do you think 2 angels would be ok. Also if it is how will i be able to tell the difference between male
and female.
thanks

Your tank is far too small for angels. It is also too small for the Clown loaches.

Kind of small for angels. Scott

ok no worrries
ive been told after i got rid of the plec the pimodela the other plec and the blak knife fish they
should be ok. i am not going back again sorry but too mant
people are giving me different advice and i dont know what to go with.

are u ever planning to upgrade or not?

Clown Loaches can reach up to 12 inches and are also best kept in groups of 3 or more. You really should take them back or get a big enough tank to house them.

What's a BBG?

 

[black molly3]

yes i am planning to upgrade im going to get 2 tanks. a 20 Gal one and a 7 Gal one.
the 7 is for a dwarf puffer which i have been researching and the 20 gal is for other fish like angels
and if i could pput the clown loaches in that then them aswell

A 20 gallon is still too small for Clown Loaches I'm afraid, you'd probably need a tank three times the size of that.
I'm not too sure what size tanks Angels need but I've read the tank needs to be at least 18" high.
Have you still got the other fish that are in your profile?

 

[black molly3]

ive only got the fish i listed on the top of the post.
i still have the spotted hi-fin plec but the pictus black knife and common are all gone

 

[WILDER]

I agree with stang1.
Angel need 30 gallons.
Black knife fish need large and so do clown loaches of 90 gallons.

 

[black molly3]

ok doesnt matter

 

[stang1]

I'm not sure on the spotted hi-fin Pleco but get the feeling he will also grow too big for your tank.

 

[black molly3]

my tank is crap now

 

[stang1]

Don't say that!
Your best bet would be to take all your fish back and plan your stocking again. There are plenty of people here who will give you suggestions for suitable fish.
