20 gal is too small for angels

 

[csmiley93]

but ive seen many people with angels in 20's

many people keep goldfish in bowls but that doesn't make it right....

angels can get upwards of 6 inches and are cichlids so can be aggressive, while yes they can SURVIVE in a 20gal it is not the best environment for them and they will THRIVE and be much happier in a larger set up.
