Min. tank size for angels?

[Darky]

Im reading on the net that 20G is good enough. True or false?

wroung section. but yes a 20g "tall" is good for them not sure how many though.

Oh my bad I thought they were central american. Thanks for the response.

 

[muckieman]

they are but there is a section fo discus an angles.

They aren't Central American, they are South American. A 20gT would do for a single angelfish, I suggest and additional 10g after tht for eatch fish. 30g for 2 fish, 40g for 3 etc. etc.

For some angels 20G high is fine, it is ok for two Pterophyllum scalare, but not for Pterophyllum altum, Pterophyllum leopoldi will do fine in a 20 gallon as well (this is of course with high maintenance).

a 20g tall *might* be enough for a single standard angel. veils and superveils get much taller. . . my superveil is almost a foot tall at less than a year old. i would recommend a 29g for one or a mated pair, and then jump to a 75 or 90 for 6-7 of them or more. you could get away with 4 in a 55, but i wouldn't recommend it. a larger group will allow for aggression to be spread out among the fish, whereas with 3-4 fish only, the mated pair (and you will get a pair) will constantly chase the others.

I usually say, that the tank should be at least 18" tall.
