I want to add these fish...

Hey guys,
I currently have an empty established 20 gallon "high" tank planyed. I was thinking of putting two angelfish in there. I keep my water parameters in check and gravel vac and do a 20% weekly water changes. Can I keep the Angelfish in there over the course of their lives?

Thanks!

While tall tanks are ideal for angels I believe they would need at least a 29g high when they are full grown.

I've heard of people keeping them in a 20 high, I think that's the absolute minimum...
I may be wrong though.

Ok. Well I'll give it a shot, and if I need a larger tank, I can always save up for one. Thanks guys

20g high works great as long as there are no other horizontal swimmers with them....but that would be my minimum as amandas

2 angelfish 1 plec 2 bolivian rams would fit nicely in there otherwise there is the option of guppies and tetra and my personal favorite rainbowfish
