	30 gal. tank with Angelfish questions
Suinier Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 1 Votes: 1 Registered: 18-Feb-2008	Ok, so I recently dug out my old 30 gal tank. 36" wide, 12" deep, and about 16" high. Just trying to get back into the wonderful world of aquariums and starting smaller for now. I was very interested in getting some Angelfish once I have the PH level and all that working properly. But I was wondering. Just how many can I put in this tank? I know they get big, and wouldn't be in there forever, even looking at breeding eventually. But for the time being, how many juvi angels would work in there?

Think once I get it started and established, moving up to a 50-75 tall and keeping the 30 as an off-tank. Was thinking a dwarf pleco to stick in as a bottom feeder, maybe something else.
