I've kept angels in my summer ponds. Put them in the pond in Middle May and take them out Early First week of September. They seem to do very well. Bring them into the house aquarium during the winter. They will school and grow fast. As long as temps stay over 60, they'll be alright.

If your pond stays at a constant 78-82 degrees, you can keep angelfish. They will only get to about 6 inches, so a 30 gallon aquarium is fine for 1 or 2 angelfish.

till you've a pond heater that could keep it at 76-80 degreeseven contained in the wintry climate, i doubt it, or perhaps then... if birds get for your pond, why keep fish in it? it needs to be deeper or extra coated (internet/grate). plus, how nicely are you able to even see angelfish from above besides? do not recommend to sound recommend, yet it truly is a touch poorly idea out plan. ok what change into incorrect with my answer? i apologized for any curtness, and they answer i gave change into from having engaged on 3 ponds, one in each of which as frequented by raccoons that ate various hundred greenbacks nicely worth of koi, i understand a area or 2 about conserving stuff out. i also understand many human beings that keep tropicals in outside ponds, granted maximum of them are in florida or futher south. bgut some human beings do keep tropicals outdoors a minimum of fro a number of the year. watch now i'm getting nother one for attempting to safeguard myself..... some device we've set up right here

Simply sticking them in a pond won't make them "huge", plus, even if it did, you'd have to put them back in the small tank! In my experience, angelfish can be kind of delicate, I wouldn't put them outdoors, not to mention all the things that could eat them when they're out there! You have no way of controlling the temperature of the water either, and sometimes a summer's deulge of water can drop pond temerature drastically, therefore shocking and killing your fish.

Yes you can keep them in a pond in warmer climates. Typically 1-2 years for maturity.

It would really help if you were complete with your information.
In Africa or South America.. no problem
In Alaska they might be a bit uncomfortable sitting there on that glacier after which I wouldn't worry about them growing much (or aging further for that matter).
You need to explain WHERE you are.. because I honestly don't remember.

Get a larger tank. You can get a 55 gallon tank or larger instead. Otherwise, what you want to do will kill them.
