Well the question that started this was can you keep a angel in a 29 gallon and the answer if by keeping a angel means keeping it alive and thriving in a 29 biocube then yes it can and has been done its all over YouTube and by personal experience

I find this true but the only other fish will be a pair of clowns so it will have The tank to itself (almost)So by that logic you should be able to put a hippo tang in there too? Because I've seen lots of you tube videos where people have them in aio cubes. Keeping an animal alive and thriving are 2 different things. I've had a flame in a 20 long before and the thing was a terror in there, couldn't keep any other fish with it. Same fish was transferred to my 40b and it's a model citizen, and I directly equate this to tank size/available territory and swimming space. An aio cube with a little over 20 gallons in the display just isn't enough room IME.

nicely saidI'm not gonna sit and argue. The op can make his decision. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it always should be done. One last point, it's not the 11 gallons that is the difference is the 16" in swimming length that is the difference

Your opinion I think is wrong considering I have a very healthy angelfish in my cube. But whatever that's besides the point when it comes to angelfish its a debate but you shouldn't give a person your bias opinion and say you can't do it. You should've said I wouldn't recommend it I think they should be in bigger tanks but many have put them in cubes and they've thrived which is true

How are you going to tell some one there opinion is wrong? Especially when you whole argument is backed up by YouTube, advice from your lfs ( most will say anything to make a sale), and because there's a picture on the box? As bribo said there's also a yellow tang on their, but you agree a tang doesn't belong because you said so earlier. And if you read back neither bribo or I said you can't put an angel in the tank, all we said was that they shouldn't, especially by a new aquarist (this is an assumption, and I apologize Shante if it is incorrect)
