new tank plans with angels.. is this ok?

[spofoman]

I'd really like to get more angelfish, but I know if I get more, my 3 year old female will kill them

I plan to move my large angel to a new 20 gallon tall(my friend works at pet supermarket.. i can get an awesome hookup ), along with the gouramis and maybe some cories

How many angels can I put in my 46? I was thinking 4-5..

 

[Cichlid-Man]

good number. You don't want to over crowd but you want to get enough to enjoy.

Good size tank too (46)

 

[spofoman]

so..4 or 5?

I don't think a 20g is big enough for a full grown angel. Is there a way you could make that a 30g?

 

[spofoman]

it'll be a 20 gallon tall.. and i could possibly get a 25

but a 30 wouldnt work cuz there's no tall size


i know 20 gallons is good enough for 2 full size angels...

one will be fine

The 46 gallon tank could possibly house 4-5 angels, but you may and probably will run into problems with them when they pair off to mate. So to be safe i would get a pair and keep only 2 angels with other community fish. I plan to get a pair of angels for my 45g Tall, and thinking of it now i think more then 2 could be problematic. But its worth a try and if you ever ran into problems you could just move them into other tanks.

A 30g tank is good for angels. A lot of people have angels in them. Maybe it's only the 29g. That is what I have and it is tall enough for an angel. A 25g would work great. My friend has one and it is taller than my 29g.

I second what depthC said. You might end up with a pair and they will constantly fight with all the rest. If they are all the same sex then they will still fight. Total chaos. I recommend only 1 or a pair.

 

[spofoman]

you cant buy a pair tho...

 

[Davy]

Then I would only suggest one. I would love a pair also but I have the same problem that you do. One of the draw backs to keeping such a pretty fish.

Look on www.aquabid.com. You should be able to find a nice pair on there.
