Would one small angelfish be ok in a five gallon hex tank?

The tank I'm looking at is: Eclipse Hexagon 5 Gallon Aquarium, 13"L x 11.25"W x 15.5"H
 
Definitely not! Angelfish grow quickly in good conditions and are fairly large fish. They need room to grow and room to swim. I wouldn't put angels in anything less than 25 or 30 gallons, and even that's not really enough room for them. I have a pair in a 33 gallon tank, and they're going to be moving into a 45 as soon as I get a bigger tank for the 45 gallon community to move into.
 
No a 5g is not sufficient for an angel fish.
Just wanted to back up Aquanut incase you were going with a majority vote here. :)
 
Definatly not unfortunatly. Penny sized angels can grow up to be mighty fish. I have an angel in a ten gallon right now, but he is out growing it and is gonna be moved to a 30 gallon tank really soon. I know angels are really pretty fish, and when you see one you want one really bad. And little ones are tempting. But don't get sucked into the trap I got sucked into :p
