Product Details
This community is designed to provide an opportunity to build a community tank around the ever-popular angelfish.
Tank Size: Angels should be housed in tanks of 30 gallons or more. They look good in groups of 4 or more in tanks of 55 gallons or more. You can temporarily house small angels in a 20 gallon tank until they grow larger Tank Decoration: Some tall plants in the back of the tank will make these fish feel very secure. Leave an open space in the front for them to swim. You can use live or plastic plants.
Temperature: 74-82F
Feeding: Feed twice a day with flake food, or small pellets. Other good foods are brine shrimp, bloodworms, and mysis shrimp. A variety of frozen foods and pelleted foods will assure good coloration.
Buying Angelfish: Make sure you buy fish of similar size, and you can watch them grow. Angels do best when kept in groups of 3 or more.
Angelfish Only Community: A great community tank is a group of 6 or more angelfish with just a few catfish. Put tall plants in the back. There is a very good chance they will breed with this setup.
Angels at Elmer's Aquarium: Most of the angelfish we sell are locally bred. We get different color varieties throughout the year.
Fish to avoid: Aggressive Cichlids, Malawi Cichlids, small fish that the Angels may pick on, aggressive fin nippers. Do not use Silver Dollars if you have live plants. Do not keep Angels with extremely small fish such as Neons unless the tank is a very large planted tank (75 gal or more).
Angelfish temperament and tank mates: Angels are slow moving fish that inhabit the middle water layers. They should be kept with other fish of similar size. Avoid putting them in tanks with aggressive fish. Do not put large angels in with small slow moving fish, as they may harass smaller fish. Some good tank mates are gouramis, barbs, danios, catfish, loaches, swordtails. Below is a partial list of some fish that may make up a community tank with Angels.
