T. Payne Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Bigger the tank the faster they will grow. It could be done in a 20 gallon with frequent water changes though. Body size not counting fins they could be moved over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Duck Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago If the angelfish are going to be the only inhabitants, or are the biggest inhabitants, once they are big enough to find the food and deal with any current, they could go directly in the big tank. As pointed out by @T. Payne, the bigger the tank, the better the water quality, the faster they grow. If you already have larger fish going in the big tank, then wait until the angelfish are big enough to not get eaten or crowded away from the food. I’ve grown out fish in 10 G tanks (not angels in 10’s for grow out but I’ve used 10’s for quarantine for angels) but you’ll need more water changes the smaller the tank.

I'm planning on a community setup so the angels will be the centerpiece fish. I guess I can put them in first and grow them bigger. I just don't want dime-sized fish getting lost as I try to feed them without overfeeding the tank, maybe add the coryoras to keep up with the uneaten food that the angels miss.

Could also throw them in the sump if/when you get that set up. Angels grow quick and they’re voracious eaters. I wouldn’t be concerned about it, personally.
