Angelfish Tank

[bsemantic]

Quick question. I started a new 26 gal. hex tank. It's been cycling with 5 zebra danios for around 2 weeks. I decide on Angelfish, because from what I've read they do better in a taller tank than other fish. I add 6 angels and took the danios out. Will they have enough room? Also is it okay to add a small pleco? Just to help keep the tank in check?

Hi Basemantic

6 Angels in a 26 gall hex. Ouch! Be prepared to re-home some of them when they get larger. They will quickly out grow the tank.

I am currently cycling a 88 UK gall tank with 6 3” angels, which are starting to pair up. Things are not too bad at the moment, but when the eggs appear in a few days, things will start to get nasty. When there were only two pairs in the tank, the middle of the tank became a battle ground, so what it will be like with three pairs, who knows. Luckily it will only be for a few weeks, then the discus will be back in there, and the angels can have a tank each in my fish house, before they are sold.
