How about a Betta for this tank? I'm sorry, but this tank is too small even for 1 Angelfish. There are many other much smaller but very beautiful fish to choose from too.

An angelfish would be miserable in a tank that small. They need room to swim and aren't the most agile fish when it comes to turning. My swordtails literally swim circles around my angel when she decides to be aggressive.

Re: help with new 10 gallon hexagon tank

i'll suggest guppies. u can keep 6 or 7 of them in that tank. rules r 2 females for each male guppy or u can keep goldfish if u want bigger fish but don't keep angels in that tank, angels r my favorite too that's why i bought a 75 gallon tank just to keep angels. i think under gravel filter would b fine for a 10 gallon tank.
