Angel Stocking Question

[CagIII]

I have a 30 gallon tank with nothing in it can i put 1 or 2 angels in there?

 

[InR reason]

It's better to have a 29 gallon for angels. Here's why: the standard 30 gallon has enough volume but lacks the height of a 29. In a 29 gallon you could have 2 Angels like I do as you have the 30 gallon volume (yes I know it's really 29 gallons) plus the added height. I want to give you further advice on angels but knowing that you're tank isn't the right height I'm afraid of misleading you. If you really want a pair of angels is there any way you could sell the 30 and get a 29?

Prolly not the tank is 21 inches high does that matter? The tank is labeled as a 30 gallon tall but i guess it could be a 29 seeing as how it was given to me

unless you introduce them at the same time and they are about the same size, you make have territory influnced issues with them.

IMO it would be better to get one angel and then have a school of 12 tetras and a group of four corydoras.

cool but one by itself will be ok i was always under the impression you needed them in pairs

if you can find a proven breeding pair, then that would be enoguh for a 30 gallon and they wouldnt fight.
two males will fight over dominance though. angels do fine on their own.
