Freshwater Fish Tank Examples

Is angelfish a saltwater or freshwater fish?

I was wondering, because I have well water, and I was wanting to know if I could use that for angelfish. Does anybody know of a website that has information about the type of conditions the tank is suppose to be in example Temperature, any type of conditioner, etc. and also the smallest tank to have angelfish in?

They are both fresh and salt water. But, don’t confuse the two. One can’t live in the other. You can use well water, but just like any water, you need to test it to make sure all of the water is in the correct parameters. You need a test kit for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and also for ph as well water could be very soft or very hard depending on the surrounding soil. Freshwater angelfish need a fair amount of space as they can grow to around 6 inches, so about 30 gallons or so for one full adult fish, so buy a large enough tank to house the amount of fish you want to keep, in addition to the fact that they are semi-aggressive and need room for that too so that they don’t fight if overcrowded. They are an omnivore, which means that they like protein and veggies. So, krill, brine shrimp, plankton, bloodworms, boiled chopped eggs, and various veggies like dark green lettuces (not iceberg), spinach, cucumbers, etc., should be fed in addition to the flakes. They live in temperatures around 75-82 degrees F and softer water around 5.8-7.0. Learn about cycling water prior to adding fish and filtration and how to do proper water changes and cleaning. Good luck!
