Angels In A 55 Gallon Community Tank

I currently have a 55 gallon community tank stocked with the following

2 angels around 1.5 inches
6 rummynkse tetras
4 celebes rainbows
3 cory cats
2 german blue rams

I was wanting to add one or two more angelfish to the tank but not sure if it would be a good idea, can anyone give me their suggestions?

 

I honestly would leave it at two if they are getting along. You could comfortably add 1 space wise but with three you risk adding a level of stress / breeding behavior that could really upset the apple cart...

 

I would recommend keeping it at 2 angels. I added 4 juveniles a while back to my 60g, and they got on great for months. Now they are full grown and at least 3 are male - they fight non stop so I am rehoming 2 of them.
If you live in SoCal I have some beautiful males looking for a new home lol

What kind of substrate is that?

 

I’d fill out all the schooling fish instead. Especially the Cories.

Just sand can't remember what kind picked it up in a 50 pound bag at the fish store

Thank you! Okay sounda like that works best, would you suggest only 2 in something such as a 120 gallon as well?

 

A rule of thumb for Angels is 29 gallons for 1 and then 1 more for each 10 gallons. The thing is as you increase the numbers , you will inevitably end up with a mated pair and they will likely become really aggressive with the other fish , especially the other Angels. If you want a larger group I would suggest lots of tall plants to reduce sight lines , a good number of dither fish for distraction , and be prepared to re-home any problem children if they cause you more stress than you are willing to deal with.

If you have a 120 gallon then you could probably do more. Just keep in mind that each male will want his own territory, especially if you have female(s) to create a breeding pair.

 

Greg hit the general rule, for a 55 3 would be the most you should stock.

But I would fill out the other schools.

You probably won’t notice aggression until they are about 4”.

But then it’s too late.

 

Those angels are going to grow. I have 1 in a 55 and it's almost too small for him. He's a big boy. I wouldn't push it with a third. They get aggressive when they get older. Just hope those 2 keep getting along.
