angelfish plants and tanks????

Post by Ichigo »

I just bought 3 angelfish last day. I had read articles that they can be kept in a 15 gallon tank. But the problem is they killed my beloved red eyed tetras :( can they be really kept in a 15 gallon tank or should I put them in my extra 75 gallon tank? Are they suited in a community tank? I really miss my tetras... :( what be tankmates for them?

Hi Ichigo,

Oh dang it, well here is the deal if you have an established pair then people do keep them in tanks like that to breed them. However there do not have any other fish in with them. But in reality a 15 gallon tank is way to small for angels. You would want a much larger tank, probably a minimum of 40 - 55 gal. Now whether they will fit in your community tank, I am not sure, because I don't know what other fish are in there? Angels can eat any other fish that will fit in its mouth.
