i would say go with 4 but if you want a breeding pair or so in a 55 get more and when some pair up you can always sell the others.

How many angelfish kept together?

Can 2 angelfish live in a 20 gallon tank?

I would advise strongly against it because angels get pretty big: 6″ long and remember they’re not slim fish so take up a lot of room. They also require a tank height of at least 18″ which isn’t going to give them much swimming space in a 20g.

Do you need 2 angelfish?

Keeping more than one angelfish requires advanced husbandry, consistent effort, big tanks, proper planning, and a bit of luck. The need for these requirements is because of the territoriality of angelfish. It is best to keep just two angelfish together in the same tank.

What are the best fish for a 55 gallon tank?

Here is a list of the best fish for a 55-gallon tank:

  • Cory Catfish.
  • Plectostomus.
  • Kuhli Loach.
  • Cherry and Ghost Shrimp.
  • Three-Spot Gourami.
  • Dwarf Gourami.
  • Angelfish.
  • Neon Tetra.

Is it OK to have just one Angelfish?

A single (male or female) would be just fine. Most Angels are just fine with other species as long as the other fish stay out of their breeding area. A single Angel will not have a breeding area, so that is OK. The fish you list are large enough not to get eaten.

How many angelfish can I put in a 20 gallon tall tank?

Angelfish are schooling, you need at a bare minimum 4 of them. Unless you buy a mated pair (already have to be a mated pair) but you’re still looking at a 30+ gallon aquarium.
