Keeping Angelfish?

[BoomerXIV]

Hi guys,

i have 125litre (about 27 gallons) planted tank, the dimension for my tank is 50x50x50 cm. As for now i have 9 cardinal tetra, 9 Zebra danios, 4 Platy (i see some fry but i dont see how many), 4 mollies and 1 betta. After further research i found out i shouldnt put betta with danios, so i have a plan to move most of my fish to different tank and focus to keep 1 or maybe 2 species of fish in there. The first thing i came up with is angelfish tank. from what i read here https://www.fishkeepingworld.com/freshwater-angelfish/ the minimum tank size for a pair of angelfish is 20 gallon, what do you guys think ? should i keep 1 or maybe 2 angelfish there ? or maybe you guys another idea for stocking this tank ? my another option is to keep the danios since they are my favorite maybe i should stick with them ?

thanks for your time guys !

From the dimensions I assume its a cube. Its too small for angelfish or these mollies and its a bad idea to keep a betta with peaceful fish in.
Angelfish need a 55 gallon tank, and you got wrong the liters.
27 gallons is 102 L
125 L is 33 gallons

Angelfish need a bigger tank than 20 gallons for sure. For most fish, length is better for than height. So a 20 gallon cube would have far less space than a 20 gallon long.

Angelfish get pretty big.

I agree

Angelfish need a tank that is at least 3 feet long x 18 inches high.

I agree. I thought that angelfish need a tank that is 20" high??

 

[Colin_T]

18 inches is close enough to 20 inches.

 

[Salty&Onion]

18 inches is close enough to 20 inches.

Mm, yeah. I see what you mean.

Not for Altums. They need a much taller tank than 20".

Pterophyllum altum.

I wouldn't do angelfish. Danios should also have a longer tank, but if you dont have the option to move them, choose other shocking options they will work with danios. Danio tank mates should be other active fish, they will stress sedate fish
