Hello, Internet Aquarians,
My fiancé would like to setup an aquarium an have an Angelfish or two, we were looking at aquariums and then decided it would be best to do some more research independently.
We were thinking of a 37gal tank; but wanted to first check on how much space an Angelfish needs, what type of smaller fish could we house with them (she likes colorful fish like neons/mollies/etc). We read 37gal tanks are good for housing fish that like to live at different levels of the tank, is this true? If so, could you give some recommendations?
What are the benefits of going up a size to a 55gal tank? Is it necessary for housing an Angelfish? Would it allow for two, whereas we could only have one in the 37gal?
What pumps/heaters would we need to consider for the two tank sizes? We will probably want to house/grow some live plants in the tank. What accessories outside of that should we consider?
Are feeder fish/shrimp a problem with Angelfish? Is there a difference between the shrimp and catfish type feeders we see at the pet store?
We're new to owning/caring for fish, but want to take it seriously.
Thanks in advance.
