	Angelfish in 2 foot tank???
RAST Big Fish Posts: 437 Kudos: 162 Votes: 236 Registered: 07-Feb-2002	I currently have a Aquaone - 620 which is a little bigger then a 2 foot tank. I am wondering if Angelfish will be right in here??? I was looking at buying maybe just a pair to put in there. SMall ones. I also have 15- 20 neons, 5 White clouds in there as well. Now will they eat these or not as they will grow up with them??? How many could I put in there?? Just the 2 or 3 or 4???

Not only that, it also has plenty of fish already in there. An adult angelfish (about six inches long, eight inches tall) would just not fit. If it is a peaceful cichlid you are looking for, you can think about fish from the Apistogramma genus or the Mikrogeophagus genus. These are dwarf cichlids, and are typically peaceful. You shouldn't have a problem with one of those in a community tank. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Thay are beautiful fish & don't grow large. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
