Reyma10, I have a 20g long and really wanted to get 1 or 2 angelfish. I looked on a couple other forums and found out that the height of the tank is just too short. But some people have had angelfish in their 20g long just like you have. Are you planning to move them once they get bigger? I just was wondering because i would like to have angelfish in my 20g long for the entirety of their lives.

I would say yes ive never had any problems also i my self keep them while they are small and then switch them to a big tank not because of their size its becuase of how many i have but i dont see a prob of u keep a pair their whole life in a 20 long just by then self. Note they do tend to be a lil agresive so just 1 pair


Just my 2c

Just two angelfish in the 20g? I can't put anything else in there? And I originally wanted one but didn't know if they absolutely NEEDED another angelfish friend. I would like to have more (and different) fish than a single angel though. If I can't get anything but angels then I'll probably just stick with a tropical community and leave out the angels (because I want more than 1 or 2 fish). We used to have a couple in our 50g tank and one of them was a gorgeous calico color. I loved it! They are such beautiful fish. I've read about it everywhere and while some reviews say it's okay to have them long term in a 20g long, a lot of others said it wasn't best. They basically said that they get 10" in vertical length and their fins would rip in a 20g long. your thoughts?

So if i only get one and have it its entire life in my 20g long will it be stressed or no? And I can get other fish with it too? Sorry so many questions on your thread.
This would be so much easier if they didn't get so darn big.

No as long as you only have non agressive fish with him

A pair of angels are usually only kept in 20's for breeding. It would be like keeping a great dane in an apt. It would work, but not best for them. Not trying to be negative. Just been working with them for many yrs.
