large angel minimum

[ryanhayes9]

i am getting a 55 gallon for free and wanted to know if there is ANY type of large angel i could keep in there?

 

[jam1e]

a Blue Spotted Angel, a Black Velvet Angel (Gray Poma), a Vermiculated Angelfish (Singapore Angel), a Multibarred Angelfish (Manybanded Angel), a Venusta Angel (Purple Masked Angel), and basically any dwarf .. and besides all the dwarves .. some of those angels I mentioned may be hard to keep .. research them before you buy them but I think that you could keep any of those I mentioned full grown in a 55 gallon

the website says that
imperator angelfish needs a minimum of 55 gallons when full grown and will reac a size of 4 to 7 inches. i would like to get a juvi and watch him grow

 

[ryanhayes9]

for the koran angel it says it needs a minimum of 55 gallons when full grown
Large/Around 4"-6"
X-Large/Around 6"-7"
Show/Around 8"-10
i would also like to get one of these as a juvi and watch it grow

WOA! are you talking about Pomacanthus imperator?! .. there's no way .. according to Scott W. Michael the minimum tank size is 135 .. you might be able to fit a juvenile into a 100 gallon but I wouldn't go any less than that .. full grown they get to be 15 inches ..

 

[ryanhayes9]

which one would be better to get and can i do it?

 

[jam1e]

What website are you looking at!? .. minimum for a koran is 135 as well and they get just as big as the Emporer angel

 

[jam1e]

look at this link .. is this the imperator you're talking about? .. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4

 

[ryanhayes9]

holy crap .. no that's very off .. did you look at the link i gave you for the imperator angel .. saltwater fish .com said that the minimum is 120 and I said 135 .. there's no way I would ever put a emporer or a koran in a 55 gallon .. sorry man .. I know that's probably dissapointing now that you have your heart set on those two

note to the mods.
sorry about the links im not reallr clear on what you can and cannot post. once he sees the links i will delete them because im not clean on the whiole thing. and im using them so i know if it will die oin my tank or not
thanks

 

[ryanhayes9]

i think i will go with an annularis juvi and watch him grow since it says a full grown only needs a 20 gallon. please correct me if im wrong

 

[ryanhayes9]

well you can forget that also most sites say it needs a 70 minimum and the have a 20 MINIMUM listed!!!!!!!
