   55-gallons is good for a pair of Angels. Keep in mind though, that they will need peaceful, slow-moving tank-mates. Also, Angelfish do not fall into the 1″ per fish per gallon rule. They need at least 10 gallons per fish.

   Make sure you research tank cycling before you even think about getting any fish!!

   You can probably house 2 angelfish in there as long as they are a pair. I would also recommend to try some of the more peaceful cichlids, such as apistos and german blue ram. I would also get some Cardinal, or Neon tetras if you want a cool effect.

   I have a 55 community tank myself and it is full of cichlids(jack dempseys), kribs,sharks,large pleco and 3 pairs of large angelfish, but they have been together from fry, they are now over 2 years old and I have never had a problem. I would keep a close eye on them though for a while to make sure that they are not nipping at each other, they are known to do it!

   angelfish would be beautiful. personally, id add 3 angelfish, 15 ADULT cardinal tetras (angels will eat juvenilles) 10 cory catfish, and a dwarf pleco. (make sure its a dwarf, real ones get to be about 2 feet, I know i have an 18 incher)

   Angel fish need “tall” tanks. If your tank is the long, horizontal rectangular type, then it isn’t ideal for an angel fish. You need a tall tank for angels to accommodate the long fins of an adult angel.
