Angels in a 20 or 29 gallon

I usually think in terms of body length ratio. I usually try to have the tank at least 3x the fishes height, so fine there. And the width (which is more important) should be at least 2x the fish’s length. I think about this because they might not be able to turn around easily otherwise.

So that would mean the tank is fine,right?

 

[quinnmquinn]

I think Petco is having their dollar per gallon sale, why don’t you just go there and get a 40 or 50 gallon? Same price as the 20s not on sale

 

[quinnmquinn]

The 10 inch width is where I’m concerned

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

No, my mom saus the tank takes up too much space

Oh

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

Also, I already got a plan with a pea puffer... just need help with the substrate... what is good for amazon swords

 

[quinnmquinn]

Ah, so that is the problem, look into a 36 gallon, a pair of angels would look stunning in there here’s a photo for size

 

[quinnmquinn]

Pea puffer could definitely go in a 20. What is your dream plan though? I’d think about what you really want and try to make it work.

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

Wait where are the angels

 

[quinnmquinn]

Use play sand, cost 3 bucks a bag

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

What I really want are goldfish, but they are out of question... so I decided to shoot for pea puffers,

 

[quinnmquinn]

Lol I don’t have angels in there. They are all micro fish, wanted more schools than big fish in this one.
I have baby angels in a 10 gallon right now, growing them out for my 125

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

I was just on YouTube and it said sand was bad, so I started looking into planted tank substrate

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

And how do you take a picture

Also I won’t be able to go anywhere for anything soon because I already went to get some amanos yesterday and my mom freaked out when they molted

 

[quinnmquinn]

You can use planted tank substrate, but it’s very expensive. Most people on here just use playsand, you just have to wash it first.
In that 36 I use “blasting sand” used for sanding stuff

I have the Tapatalk app. When you go to add a pic, accessing your camera is an option

 

[quinnmquinn]

Lol moms will do that. When I first started my mom would tell me I could get an aquarium, and suggested I used plastic fish

 

[quinnmquinn]

No rush to get anything right away, it will all come together with time

 

[DASHRIMPMONSTER]

And where do you go to add a pic
