I brought a small Angelfish for my 20g tank that im using for it to grow bigger for moving it into my parent's 110g . What would be an apporiate size for it to be moved. The 110g has some big tinfoil barbs and a big angel, black shark and some other fish that are big already. I dont want to put it in the tank and watch it suffer.
 
With fish nothings ever "guarenteed", youmight get lucky, you might not. Im sure someone with more angel expirence will be able to give you a abetter answer.
 
how big are the fish exactly?
 
Let it grow as big as possible .. and maybe add a couple more so it is not alone.. they do best as a colony...
 
We will need more specific info to give an accurate answer (how big the other fish are, a complete stock list of the 110, and how large the angel is), but I agree with Red Devil; it would be best to have at least one more angel with it to help it feel more secure.
 
The other Angel isnt bothered at all in the tank which is surpising,my parents brought it at a large size it is kinda aggressive towards the other fish in the tank.In the 110g theres apollo shark, black shark, gold shark, angel, silver dollar, tinfoil barbs, congo tetras, one upside down cat. My dad mixes up the tank. The upside down is about 6-7 inchestheblack shark is about 9 the barbs are right around the same size as the black shark.

I plan on adding another Angel or 2 to my 20g i just brought one because the rest of the tank in my lfs wasnt doing well.

Okay, I would wait until its body has about a 2.5-3" diameter, then. btw, at 6-7", the "upside down cat" is not an upside down cat. I'm guessing it's probably a featherfin syno (Synodontis euptera) since they look somewhat similar as far as body shape and coloration (unless it is an asian upside down cat which have solid black coloration).

Thank you for the help! He still hasa long way to go then. It is a featherfin syno for sure i googled it and it looks exactly like mine.
