 | Discus or Angels |
warrion_2000  Enthusiast Posts: 257 Kudos: 169 Votes: 1 Registered: 29-Apr-2003   | I have a 25g tank which is empty at the moment. I was thinking of putting a pair of discus or two angels in it. Would that be ok? Thanks! |

You could probably keep the angels ok in a 25 gal when theyre small to medium , but you might want to upgrade it for them when they get bigger in a few years. |

| So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004 | Really, it depends on the tank too. Is it a tall tank or a long tank? Angels need a tank 18 inches or taller. If its any less, then I would say no even to the angels. Discus get simply massive, I think you would need a larger tank for even a breeding pair. How about considering some smaller cichlids, like Rams, Apistos, or Keyholes? Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames |
