JeremyAllen 5 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi all, I have seen many different preferences on what conditions for a tank to keep angelfish in and I’m curious on other people’s opinions. I have heard nothing under 18 in depth, 40 breeder is too shallow, a 29 is fine, but with all of this I am not looking for a community but maybe a pair and then a bottom feeder to clean up after them. What are ideal conditions for raising angelfish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FriendlyLoach 137 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I have not kept them, but I have researched a lot about them.To keep a pair I would say at least a 29 high. I think the best advice is as Cory says, don't try to recreate there natural habitat, just what they were born in. I would try to find a local breeder so you can find out what water parameters they keep them in. Just keep it stable and you should be fine. Yet again I have not kept them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ADMWNDSR83 296 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 My pair is in a 37 (Same footprint as a 29 but taller) with some others and they are seeming quite happy. My water is not ideal, I believe, as it is quite hard with low alkalinity and pH, but they don't show any signs of stress or anything. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just watched a 7 part youtube video last night on breeding angels and the breeder uses 29 gallon tanks for his breeding pairs. I have a pair in community 30 gallon which is only 14" (?) deep and they're doing great. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
