That’s a horrible way to react to not only a new member but to a new fishkeeper. Good grief you guys. No one knows if the person on youtube knows what he’s doing either. I have a semi agressive 60 gallon tank with a ghost knife, 2 bala sharks, 2 rainbow sharks 4 angelfish, a pleco, a cory cat, 10 danios, and 4 tigerbarbs. I KNOW that this is way too many fish. All of these fish are small. Very small. And so the 60 gallon tank is fine for them. I know the angels will be approximately the size of a saucer in 2 years and will need their own tank. I know placos grow up to 2 feet long. I also know that bala sharks and ghost knifes alone grow to a foot and a half long and will need their own tank and that danios are mostly used as starter fish for a tank like this and will most likely be eaten by the rest of the fish in the tank so by Christmas I will need another 55 gallon+ tank but right now my fish are happy, healthy and eating and growing fine. They seem to be thriving in the set up they’re in because it’s a fine set up for the time being and when the time comes and they do get bigger and some need to be moved to that new 55+ gallon tank they will be moved. Until then I think I’ll go lay down in traffic for being a stupid fishkeeper since it’s obviously too late for my mom to have an abortion. To answer the question that was asked, 4 angels may be too many in an 8 gallon tank even to start because they need room to swim and they can be slightly agressive though out of all the semi agressive fish I’ve seen they are probably the least. 1 or 2 might be ok but if it were me I’d get something like a 20-30 gallon tank and use the 8 gallon as a hospital tank because angels easily get sick. Also they’re really quite peaceful until about 9 months of age when they’ll start being more agressive. For breeding get a group of 4 or so in a larger tank and let them pair up on their own. For a cheap set up look at some place like Walmart you can usually find tank setups complete with heater, lights etc for varying prices depending on the gallon size. For a stand if you don’t want to spend the money on a stand you can find a book case relatively cheap there too.
