Choosing the right freshwater angelfish for your tank
Angelfish grow tall, often 8 inches or more from fin tip to fin tip, so choose a tank with height. A 29 to 30 gallon tall tank suits a pair, and a 55 gallon or larger tank is better for a small group. Keep the water at 76 to 82°F with a pH of about 6.5 to 7.5, add tall plants and driftwood, and keep the flow gentle to protect their long fins.
Angelfish are cichlids, so they are semi-aggressive. Adults will eat very small fish such as neon tetras, and pairs become territorial when spawning. Good tankmates include larger tetras, rasboras, Corydoras, plecos, and peaceful gouramis; avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs. Feed a varied diet of quality flakes or pellets plus frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp.
