Must they be in pairs or groups? Can they be happy and healthy as solitary angels in a community tank?

They can live by themselves. if you ever to decide to add another one they may not treat the new arrival well, if the original fish is full grown. They can be very territorial.
Thats good to know - I have no pet store that would be willing to lend me a bunch of angelfish to find a pair - so the only way for me to enjoy an angel is as a solitary fish...
He or she will be fine I have great gold one by itself in a 36 gallon tank with a bunch of tertras and it is one happy and pretty fish.
Well, there are other fish, but he's the only angel.
I kept the prettiest angel I ever saw all by itself when I was younger. It did great. It was a pretty intelligent fish as well. Intelligence of course benig a relative term here... fish aren't exactly higher order species after all.
I find they enjoy at least a couple. My two follow eachother around constantly. a pair do well in a 29 gallon. To have more than 2, you'd need a bigger tank. Could do up to 4 in a 55 gallon. You should get them all together while small. Ones with established territories may get agressive to newcommers.
My understanding is to have two you must have a breeding pair? Can they both be male or both female?
