Default 17 Gallons for 2 angelfish

Hello,

I was wondering, can I keep 2 angelfish in a 58L tank?
The thing is they were a present for my birthday , and I decided to make their own tank in the space I had left. So the aquarium is 55L/30l/35h.

So assuming that the filtration and the water quality will be very good, will they do well in this tank?

No its not, not really even big enough for 1, they need more swimming room. In that small of a tank they would end up fighting till one is dead if not both.

I absolutely agree, way too small for Angel's. If it were me and that tank I would do a pair of GBR's

Would be okay to house them while they are small until you get a bigger tank. But, don't wait too long. The sooner you get them out of there the better. Definitely NO when they are full grown.

A lot of angel pairs are kept in 20 talls for breeding. If kept right,. perhaps.
