MY two pair of Platinum Angels had about 300 fry. I would like to know how many I can safely put in a 20, 29 gallon and a 40 gallon untill they are ready to sell. Do I go by the inch of fish per gallon of water?

With daily water changes you can easily maintain 8-10 dime sized Angels per gallon.

Have you done that? I just fouind a place on the computer that says for a 20 gallon I can put 50 Fry. Your saying 160 - 200 with dail;y water changes. I do 25% every day.
Thanks

More fish = more food = more waste = more water changes. Stocking lighter will help the fry grow quicker and healthier because water quality stays better for longer. Culling less desirable fish, as they get bigger, also helps.

I'm talking about running dual sponges and changing at least 50% daily.
