A question on Angels..?

Question

I am about to add angel fish to my 90 gallon tank and was wondering if this was true.. I went to a pet shop and the man told me that there is a type of angel that can only grow quite small?? I want to introduce this small angel to my tank that has minnows in, is there such a thing as a small angelfish?

Answer 1

I personally didn't hear about this kind of an angels, so I can't tell for sure. I checked a few sources and didnt find anything related to your question. My advice for you is to get regular angels and don't think about hybrid angels.

Answer 2

there certainly are small angels. it is best not too put an adult angel with small fish. even if you add a baby angel, when it grows it will still attack newly added small fish such as tetras and guppies. i found this out a few years back myself so i have never kept another angel fish before and to be honest unless i have a tank with ONLY large fish in such as sharks and gouramis i will never have another one again.

Answer 3

I have never heard of a small angel fish.  The fish are small at first but they can grow rather large.  Are we talking about salt water or fresh water?  A saltwater angel cannot be out with any other ANGEL fish.  They are fine to put with other fish.  We have five saltwater tanks and have never had a problem adding angel fish to our communities.  Good luck with your fish.

Answer 4

Iv never heard of an angle fish that was small full grown. But of course they're all small when young. If you want to get a young one you'll be alright for a while because it takes them about a year to get to the size where they might start eating your minnows. and when he gets that big just keep him well fed and he should be alright
