A 20g is a little short for angels, I would say a 25 tall would be better. Your tank wont experience much of a mini cycle from adding two fish. Dose some NI Cycle just to make sure if you are really worried, and just monitor the levels with your test kits. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

Angels are extremely hardy fish. Just make sure your ph is at acceptable levels, and watch out for cholrine in tap water other than that, its pretty hard to kill them me

We used to breed angles in a regular 20 gallon, we stopped, put them back in the main tank... sadly, the sword tails in the tank literally picked them to death. 2 angles lived for another month, then they just died the same day a month later (which was a little wierd)
