Hello All,
I have always wanted to have angelfish but in my past have not had the best luck with them. I wanted to try again and hopefully have better success and learn more about keeping them. A few months ago I got three angelfish. I have lost one of those and another one has gotten sick is quarantined, and I am not sure if he will make it or not. I am doing all I can for him. I have done some research on the internet about angelfish as well as bought a book. From what I found on the internet it says you should have ONE angelfish or FOUR or More. The book I bought says you should NEVER have one or two angelfish, ALWAYS have FOUR or more. So here are my questions:
1. Should I get more angelfish? I now have the one, since one is in quarantine
2. If so, my current angelfish is about 3" long, should I get more of that size or get smaller ones?
3. Also, I am concerned that I am already overstocked, please tell me if I am. I have a 55 gallon tank with these fish:
1 -15" Pleco
1- ghost fish
1- black ruby barb
1- Penguin fish
5 - lemon tetras
6- black skirt tetras
3- neon tetras
2 - glowlight tetras
5 - rasboras
3 - white skirt tetras
2 - angelfish
#4. If I am not overstocked will I be if I add more angelfish?
#5. If I am overstocked do I need to set up a separate tank and take out some fish so I can add the angelfish.
Thanks for your help on this!!
