aquariumbeginner32 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 How big a tank does an Angel fish need? What about Dwarf Gouramis? I'm moving my coldwater fish (goldfish, minnows) out of my 64L tank. I will be left with 4 guppies and 2 platys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 The Dwarf Gouramis should will be fine in a 64L for two of them and a few more platys and nothing more. You will need a much bigger tank for angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Angels would need at least a 150L tank IMO because the fish themselves are tall and wide, and they are cichlids and actually are aggressive, I've seen one eat a neon...

mrzsnorkel Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 yup they sure are aggressive!!! a friend had one and whenever you went near the tank s/he would charge at the glass at you non stop. it would actually hit the glass everytime. you didnt dear put your finger in there, lol well we wouldnt. and they are better in groups by themselfs with a few bottom feeders imo. they do kill other fish if they want to breed.

aquariumbeginner32 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ok so definitely no angel fish then lol What other fish go well with guppies and platys? I have officially moved my blue/silver fantail goldfish (I got another one on Sunday - a very small chocolate fantail) into the pond outside, put the minnows into the small tank and so it's just the tropical fish in the big tank now. Snowman has a GBA for me which I have to collect. I like barbs, tetras and danios.... and the dwarf gouramis. Anything that won't get more than 10cm including the tail.

mcmillanm Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've got a pair of dwarf butterfly ram cichlids which I adore. They may be a great addition and have great personality if there's room :roey: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
