55 Gallon Angelfish Tank?

[DazedNCoNfUsEd]

What would be your ideal setup for a 55 gallon tank with Angels???

4 angels, a shoal of congo tetra's, a nice smallish but pretty plec and a group of cories

what do you class as a shoal of tetras for a tank that size? 10ish and a group of cories? 4-6.

Sounds a nice list, but quite a few fish for what is basically an Angel tank. Would they not likely just be talking a small to medium plec and a small shoal or couple of similar in size to the angels.

nah 6-8 of each the cories and congo's.

it might be too much of things other than angels but the OP isn't all that specific, if I had a 55g tank to build around angelfish that's what I'd do!

I'd only get nice silver banded angels too

 

[stackem evs]

and with all them, how many angels would you put in?

 

[DazedNCoNfUsEd]

No I definitely want some variety along with the Angels. How bout Rams as well?

 

[Miss Wiggle]

they can work with angels, nice low ph to suit both of them

 

[black angel]

How many angels were you thinking?

 

[DazedNCoNfUsEd]

I was thinking 3, maybe 4 at the most. I dont want to breed them or anything, in fact I would rather not have a breeding pair in the group, but thats pretty much unavoidable if it happens right?

I think three may be problem if two become a breeding pair, obviously it's bye bye loner

most people recommend five, I'm not sure why five, but they do

 

[Phiish]

Yeah dont get 3, i had 4 originally and everything was hunky dory but the oldest (my first fish ever) died and then there was 3 boy did the one get bullied all the time, which was annoying because he was my favourite one
