Well, I had a 10gall that had two Angelfish and five rainbowfish. According to almost unanimous acclaim, the tank is too small. So I've gotten a 29 gallon and I have moved my rainbows outside. My old tank now has just the two angels, who are still really tiny so they can live here for a while yet. (besides, I like watching them swim around and play)

I read on many sources on the net that angels are fine in tanks with live plants. Many encourage it, in fact. However, these two I have find an almost childlike joy in biting at my plants and breaking them off. They ruined my grosso and ripped a leaf off my nanas as well as bit off the buds that were on it.

Can angels live in an aquarium with live plants? Am I not feeding them enough? I feed them twice a day with a total of 3 pinches of flakes.

Cichlids can be pretty hard on plants, unfortunately. I think they'll ignore some plants while tearing others to shreds. Some of our more experienced Angel owners could probably help you out there.

Lol thanks for moving the thread, probably should have put it here in the first place ^^

They will eat/nip any softish plants in my experience. Tough ones like swords they leave.
