tank size for angels

Franklin · 07-19-2005, 09:39 AM

I am thinking about purchasing a 48x24x24 120 gallon aquarium. Would most of the non-dwarf angel species be content in a tank this size?
thanks

Hi Franklin,

I think ~180 gallons would be better, providing 6' in length. Angel fish can grow very large and providing more room will help reduce stress levels.
