    Hi guys

    I have got around 20 angelfish that I've bred naturally with the parents. I want to keep them but wanted to find out what sized tank I'd need for them. It will only have them(single species tank only).

    Also please suggest any places that sell good value tanks or people who build them up (In Johannesburg).

    Thank you

    If you want to keep them to adult size, I would say 7 in a minimum 250L tank - roughly 35L/fish.
    The more volume/fish the better.

    So I pretty much need a 600l plus tank to keep all. Do you perhaps know of anyone building/selling big tanks in Joburg?

    And that's why I stopped breeding Angels (well, fish in general).
    My lfs would only take so many.
    And I wasn't interested in having all sorts of strangers turning up at my place to collect one or two fish
