    I have an angelfish, I've had him for maybe a year and a half or two years? Not sure exactly how long but he thrives very well with our community fish. Our community tank is about to upgrade from 20 gallons to 65 gallons, so we're excited to give him a ton more room! He's not too big yet, but he's a sweet boy and he gets really excited around people.

  • @Chriss_Fishes
    @Chriss_Fishes 5 років тому +1

    Great info!
    He mentioned that he's kept and bred them in tanks as small as 10 gallons - were they grown out in that 10 gallon tank? It seems like the majority of adult angels I've seen would struggle to swim upright in a 10 gallon, so I wonder if they were stunted at all OR if they were a smaller variety.

    • @deansfishroom
      @deansfishroom 5 років тому +3

      It was actually an experiment that I did years back. I didn't grow them out in the 10 gallon, just moved a pair into the tank to see if they would breed. They did breed but didn't seem very happy in that small of a tank. Too shallow and not enough water volume. So did it work, yes, but I don't practice that now and wouldn't recommend it to others.

    This is great for me. I plan to get 3 of them for a little school in a 55 gallon with my already school of 6 zebra danios. I got 1 normal and 1 each other the different colored glo-fish and the school is beautiful. And my 1 alge boy named sucker. I'm mainly getting the 55 gallon for him. I got him a year ago at around 1 inch long. He's now hitting 9 inches long. I want him to have all the room in the world. Plus he's suppose to get around a foot and a half. He just chills by himself tho. Oh, I heard that if you get angel when they are small and if you have smaller fish that they will start to think of them as tank mates. I believe my little school is too big for them to eat, but I'm still worried about it.

There are no other fish in the tank but I would prefer to have a cleanup crew (Cory's maybe)? Is that advisable or should I keep them the only fish in the tank? Thanks. Dani

  • @ryanwakebradtelle8682
    @ryanwakebradtelle8682 5 років тому +1

    I saw a tank that the owner claimed had no issues over 3 years without water changes.
    It had an angel fish, a pretty big pleco but not too big, and a fully grown goldfish.
    It was a 30 gallon with some plants.
    What did u think, was that persons children or friend Tak I ng care of it, or did they naturally get fully nitrate processing bacteria?

    • @ryanwakebradtelle8682
      @ryanwakebradtelle8682 5 років тому

      My theory is that the bacteria evolve into the fully nitrate processing bacteria, I've heard some stories from you and from plenty other places we're occasionally a koi pond that's between 10 and 30 years old we'll get the right balance of bacteria and algae in their massive sump the fully process all the nitrates.
      We know it isn't a miracle.
      I think this deserves more study we know how to evolve bacteria to process other nutrients in the food solution, it just takes some combination of luck and factors in time.

  • @lilitharmstrong725
    @lilitharmstrong725 4 роки тому

    i have a 5ish year old angel so its quite big. i was given it by a friend when she didnt want her tank anymore a few years back... it is very healthy and showing no signs of age or getting sick. at the moment it just lives with one siamese algae eater (also very old and big) in about a 260L tank. The algae eater keeps to itself, they eat really close together which is cute, but the angel is always right up at the glass watching everything i do, it follows me as i walk past and is really interactive. but i feel so bad for it. it has never had another angel fish friend, the previous owners kept it in a tinyyy little tank with a rainbow shark of all things (got rid of the shark) so for the past few years its just been living in my tank. i have had lots of other fish move through the aquarium and eventually die off, the angel and the siamese alge eater are the only two left and its been like that for about half a year. The angel has never connected with any fish and always seems so bored and lonely. I want to get some more fish but both fish are so big i worry any younger fish I add would just be attacked. So does my angel have to be alone for the rest of its life? or is there something else I can do?

    1) can I have 2 Angelfish, 4 Gouramis, 3 Catfish and 2 butterfly pletcos in a 29 gallon fish tank?
    I am afraid because some people said on reviews that Angelfish will grow too big and later will not fit in the tank.
    Thank you 🙏🏻 very much and I hope you can help me with this dilemma. I already gave you a like and subscribe to your channel. Thanks for the tip of Supergreen fertilizer. I live in Miami Beach Florida and I don’t know if they will ship the plants 🌱 and get ok when they arrive.

I was wondering about inbreeding and it's possible link in causing the defects that lead to fish being culled.. I imagine in the wild inbreeding is probably a rare thing to happen.. I would really like to hear your opinion on this matter and would very much appreciate it.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us..

    You know I hate those huge ads for other videos. Isn't there a way to make them smaller and not interrupt the video in progress?
