Angels?

[joenrenee83]

I have gotten rid on my parrot fish and totally changed out my tanks....so now i have a 20 gallon that is currently housing 2 small silver dollars and 2 powder blue gouramis. I am going to up grade my tank to you 55 or 70 as soon as I can save up the coin. My question is can I put in a pair on angels or will they not get along with the other fish? I really would like to get them now and when I upgrade just leave them in the 20. Any input??

the angels will get too big for the 20--instead, the gouramis could stay

ya angels will get too big for a 20g and usually the recommended minimum size is like 29g i think. Also there will probably be too much aggressive behavior in there with the silver dollars, gouramis, and then adding angels will just be a fight waiting to happen. Angels are really territorial especially when they pair off so i would wait till you get the 50g or 70g and you can even get a few angels to try to breed them. Also it'll be a lot healthier that way.
