	24gallon Nano and an Angel?
niccomau Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 4 Registered: 19-Jul-2007	Curious to wether or not you guys think a 24g nano cube is too small, and/or not tall enough to house a single angelfish? The tank itself will be fully planted - might throw in a couple of schoolers like Rasbora or Rummynose not sure though. Whatcha think?

With a group of small angelfish, you should have some good social interactions between the fish and a better than 70% chance of developing a mated pair of angels over the next 12 months. The tank is large enough for a pair of adult, mated angelfish. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

The height is barely sufficient for fully grown angelfish which can typically grow to 8-10" vertically. That means as it swims within the mid water range, it only has ~4" above and below the fish. 18" is the same length as a 10 gallon. I would not recommend a pair of angelfish in there, but growing out may be fine.
