	how many angels in a 55g
GirlieGirl8519 Fish Master Malawi Planter Posts: 1468 Kudos: 1029 Votes: 35 Registered: 25-Mar-2005	I want to add angels to my 55g. I have heard that with two they are aggressive, if not a breeding pair. Should I only get one or should I get 3? My tank will be moderately planted when i get them. I have 8 head and tailight tetras, 6 rummynose tetras, 8 cories, 3 yoyo loaches, 1 otto, and 1 BN. I will get them small, but they will stay in the 55 so I worry about having 3 in there. :%) *Kristin*

Also dont buy any SAE as they remove there slime coating and it finally kills the angels.

If they pair, just take the other one back to your LFS or give it to a friend. You can also add the Rummynose & Corydoras schools to 10. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

GirlieGirl8519 Fish Master Malawi Planter Posts: 1468 Kudos: 1029 Votes: 35 Registered: 25-Mar-2005	I may just get the one. I don't have anyone to sell them to if I got a group. I also would be worried that the LFS wouldn't take them back. I am just afraid the one angel would get lonely. Does anyone have just one angel? If so is it ok by itself? I'm not getting them for a couple weeks so I may change my mind and get the 3 and see if 2 pair off. Then maybe I can give the other one back. I just don't want 3 huge fish in my 55g. Its amazing how big they get when they start out so small. :%) *Kristin*
