Angelfish?

[Hunter2001]

Two questions:

1) Is a 29 gallon aquarium large enough for one or two angelfish?

2) Are angel fish a good community fish? I would like to add one or two to my aquarium consisting of neon tetras, zebra danios, cory catfish, and Otto's.

O.K three questions. Maybe my aquarium is already stocked to the limit. 8 tetras, 6 Danios, 3 Cory's, and 3 Otto's.

Is there room for one or two Angelfish?

Thanks

you can have juvies in there for a couple of months, I have 4 of them in my 29G tank, but I know Im gonna have to give them up when they mature, bought them for a dollar a piece from a local breeder...

One or two angels in a 29 would be OK. Of the fish you list, the only ones I'd be concerned about are the danios. They are so spastic and hyperactive that I'd be worried they'd stress the angels.

Some people don't recommend keeping neons with angels out of fear the angel will snack on the neons. I've not had that problem when I kept them together (and I still do), but you should consider it as a potential problems.

Otherwise, it looks good!

Nah, the danios shouldn't stress them too much as they normally stay close to the top while the angels are more toward the middle. I have them together and things are just fine, though my tank is bigger than a 29 gallon. I've never had a problem with the 2. As for 1 or 2 angels for a 29 gallon, I'd think 1 would be ok in addition to those you've mentioned, 2 may be running over the limit a bit.

i keep neons, danios and angels together in the same tank with absolutly no problems. i think you could keep acouple of angels in that tank provided you have adiquate filtration and carry out good regular maintance.
