You have to prepare a tank for angelfish and in order to prepare one, you will require 40-55 gallon tank. The water in the tank should be soft and well filtered at a temperature of 78° with the help of a heater. Decorate your tank heavily with artificial or live plants along with platys (hardy fish) and after approximately 10-12 weeks you can bring in angelfish in your aquarium.

I'd like to say that "clean" 46+ cm are needed, don't count substrate's depth as this may lower the total depth by even 10cm. jan 2008-05-08
