Looks very nice. I like your Angels, 60 litres is IMO too small for Angels, and especially for ones of that size, I think they need more like a 120 litre deep.
 
sorry to hear about the angels :( I thought 2 in this tank were ok - they were tiny when i got them of course, not that that is any excuse.

They are a breeding pair and produce eggs on the amazon swords every few weeks, so i just thought for them to breed they must be doing alright in there.

I wish i had somewhere to put another tank now! lol
 
Yeah, it's very nice, although a breeding pair is best suited in a 20 gallon high, or even better a 29 gallon. You may want to consider upgrading :good:
 
Just because they are breeding doesnt mean they are ok i think u will find animals will often breed when there habitat get small such as lots of fish breed when there water level goes right up or the temp drops right down or if there water gets dirty just my opinion but yea

Judging by your response I believe you to be a responsible fish keeper who will give thier fish the best. It's not that often someone will admit they did something wrong and take better advice from others. :good:
Indeed they must be happy if they are breeding however this happiness may end soon because of territorial fighting and a decrease in water quality because of the large waste produced by the Angels.
So like everyone is saying, as soon as you can, set up a larger tank for them. :)
