Depends on how big the tank is. It says in your sig you're setting up a 47 gallon, so I'd say it would be okay if they're in that one. Buy it small, though. If you buy a big angelfish, it will be aggresive to your smaller fish and just about everyone. If you buy it little, it will grow up with everyone and will learn to be nonaggresive. Believe me, buy him young.

o i pland on a small one are they okay as a single? or in pairs?

Hmm... you could put one in there. It could be a little small. Then again, I have two angels in a 10-gallon, poor guys . I would only put one in the 80 liter. When you set up your 47 gallon, I'd move him there and give him a friend or two. He'd be very happy.

Thanks!

 

[my fat fish]

you all been a big help thankyou tho any1 know about buying fish of the net?

 

[chibi]

Buying fish off the net is handy, but EXPENSIVE. Many times, you have to have a minimum order to buy the fish (they may say you have to buy atleast $50 worth of fish) and the shipping is insane since it's overnight shipping. I wanted to buy some von rio tetras... 5 for $10. But when I included shipping, it was $50! Buying fish from LFS is so much more economical and easier.

blue dolphins are malawi cichlids and need a much higher PH than the other fish you have so arent compatible.


malawis should be kept in species only tanks too. there jus too aggressive for any other fish.




as for the angel.

as with most cichlids they dont really appreciate "friends" so you should either get jus the one or a group of about 5 and then return or rehome some when you get a pair form.

Then again, I have two angels in a 10-gallon, poor guys .

jus wondering, but why do you have them in there then?

 

[chibi]

Sam, I've got no where else to put them. I'm trying to get a bigger tank. I have a 29-gallon but it's full of little guppies and peaceful small fish. My angelfish would make a lunch out of everyone.
