Angels get way too big for a 10g.

I entirely agree. My angels aren't even full grown, and their fins would stick out if the water and be dragging on the gravel at the same time in a10 gallon tank. In a 10, you will stunt their growth for sure.

How many do you think would fit in a 55 gallon? It doesn't seem like a good idea from what I read that keeping 2 or 3 is not good. That it is either 1 or 4 or more. Is this true?

 

[Rozdab]

Or a 29 gal would one in a 29 still be to cramped for it?

 

[jetajockey]

I think a 29 is fine for a pair of angels. A 55g would easily house 3 or 4 but you'll likely have issues when they begin to pair off.

I agree with jeta. They are not as peaceful of a species as people think. 29 is ok, but there is never a guarantee of any once they reach sexual maturity and decide who else in the tank they do or do not like.

I have mollis, angels, yeah, I know most folks don't think they belong in a 10g tank, but when ya buy em real small they're ok, guppies, platy's and tetras, danios, and anything small like these also some cardinals or neons. Love it.

Uhm..or a pair? 2 angels is good and very common. Like jetta said if u have 3 and they pair off and have eggs theyll pick on the odd one out.

A 10g stunts their growth. I have friends who have done it too, so I know the angels can live through it, but they would be much better off in a larger tank.

Yah If you saw how big a full grown angel is dont see how you could condone putting it in a 10 gallon let alone a pair.

With dark green plants, I would have a betta and a small school (3-5) of neon or cardinal tetras. The colors would look great together and neither of these will harass the other.

A pair of dwarf puffers! If I wanted to set up one of my many, many 10g's thats what I'd do!
