Default Re: 55 gallon tank

I've got about 60 angels right now. Golds, koi, blue koi, double blacks, blacks, tigers, half blacks, silver striped and smokes.

But I would still suggest before putting angels in that tank, to up the numbers of the barbs and tetras.

The gold fish require cooler water to thrive, as they have a higher o2 requirement and the warmer the water the less o2. They are also big waste producers. Angels like live plants. Goldfish tend to eat plants. Plecos are major waste producers. You will be looking at water changes every couple of days to keep the water good enough for the fish.
